I'm a cash investor with a few million that I'm looking to build a portfolio with.

I purchased all cash for my first deal for a few reasons.

I had a plumber out today that said the amount of soot build up on the ignition makes it unusable and basically the whole unit needs replacement.

There are VERY FEW DEALS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW….There is inventory for sale…butNOT…..Properties that can be acquired that;1) Will have minimum 80% equity vs ARV…after the ALL IN investment ( unless the cash down is way out of balance ) 2) CASH FLOW TODAY enough to cover all costs PLUS RESERVES and return all cash out of pocket in a reasonable time period.3) You could sell TOMORROW if you needed to and not lose any money4) Dont include rosey hopes of appreciation to cover negative equity Al last ALL… of the current wholesale deals are just trashy retail deals.

Hi,I have been investing in Securities for a while, but I would like to start building a portfolio of Real Estate Positive Cash Flowing Properties in Ontario (Hamilton, Barrie, Oshawa, or Toronto).

Great for cash flowing properties! 

I believe that successfully navigating this initial investment will pave the way for future opportunities, whether in the same market or elsewhere.Living in New York City, I faced a challenging market ;)I chose Montgomery, Alabama.Here's my process:I compiled a list of states with favorable landlord laws.Using Brightinvestor, I identified cities within those states where the median home price falls below the national average ($420k).I excluded cities with negative income growth and rising unemployment rates.I focused on cities with strong appreciation rates over the past five years (over 10%).I compared price-to-rent ratios.I did break two rules: Montgomery has a slight decline in population, and its largest employers are an Air Force base and government agencies.One significant factor that influenced my decision was the promising price-to-rent ratio, suggesting potential for positive cash flow (though I remain cautious about appreciation).Regarding my acquisition strategy:I plan to employ the BRRR method with cash.

Do you have the money to have an electrician rewire the house to modern standards maybe 3000 to $5000 cash, maybe more- maybe you could ask  if they could do it on a credit card--I don't know?

Our largest issue (and I understand how fortunate we are so not complaining...too much), is the enormous amount of taxes we pay.

With a knack for creativity and a passion for forging connections, I am here to bridge the gap between investors, cash buyers, and their next property.
