You'd just have to ask if these influence the carriers premium, and by how much to see if they're even worth consideration.  

If this is a first go for you, that's appealing and has a value that may not be reflected in the numbers.Running numbers here in Colorado for our STR investors, I'm seeing maybe $500 in cash flow and up to $1,000 on a really good property, but those are larger vacation rental homes, 4-5br, $800k-$1.2M, so for a 1br property, your cash flow doesn't look bad.But again, maybe more important than the specific numbers, I think it's good to think about the opportunity cost of not doing this deal.

I bought my first rental back in early 2022 and it cash-flowed over $700 after all expenses on my first year.

I live in the California Bay Area and to say the least, my market is not affordable or even at best cash flowing.

Assuming cost segging a rental is the only way:condo or townhome/SFH with NON depreciable landnewer property/fixtures vs older propertyNOT a pro newbie landlord vs REPself manage or prop. mgmt. co.GOAL is biggest tax bene.NOT best cash flowing deal

They use the word like "Communist China" and "marijuana trades" a lot ;-) LOL However, since there're lot of restrictions for import from China and made-in-China product is flowing from Mexico route these days, these regulations are "understandable". 

And my exit plan, if things dont work out is I buy it at the appraised value , move there and rent my current house ( smaller , same class A community)  And the cash flow will just about cover the new loan .So before you get into flipping ( with no experience ) look at all possibilities and run different what ifs and have multible back up plans .

We have similar investment perspectives - long term equity growth over cash flow. 

I have a property under contract that will cash flow right off the bat with little fix up BUT the plan is to move in for 6 months to a year while I make improvements.It is a 2/2/1 with a great floor plan and can easily be converted to a 3/2/1!
