Working in a sellers market has been tough but i have adapted and learned, as a result my business has grown substantially because of it.My goal is to not only help myself become financially independent but to also help my Dad retire in the process.

this opposed to what I usually do and buy and the top and sell at the bottom .. the results of this are poor..

This is important because if you have to put out more cash for closing costs, this measure is going to change potentially significantly.Annual Cash Flow Before Taxes: $5,597.60Cash Invested (25% Down Payment): $61,475Cash-on-Cash Return: 9.1% (I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be super excited about this result.)To do a real analysis, you should be more concerned with projecting out cash flows and resale value as best you can and running IRR, but I think that the Cap Rate and Cash-on-Cash shown here at least indicate that the price is too high for this property.
