- Save and invest for the future

As part of that exchange they will be taking $500K in cash "boot". 

This is our first time buying all cash. 

Instead of walking away, I saw it as an opportunity and IMMEDIATELY submitted TWO simultaneous cash offers.

We are onboard with multiple purchases, and are extremely pleased with the cash flow and availability of our manager to answer our questions. 

There is a lot of demand for Section 8 tenants, but the process can take 2-3 months so if you want to rent it out quickly, I would try and go with a cash tenant. 

Also know that the housing market might not go up as quickly as you like...but honestly as long as it cash flows when you move out that is okay...I recommend saving up at least 6 months' worth of rents and having it cash flow at least $300 a month before moving out of the property.

Great neighborhoods, great ARVs but the number off the MLS will not work and investors with deep pockets make cash offers that can knock financing offers out. 

If she had a ton of savings or a pension that might be a positive but alimony as a sole income source no. 

Cash flow is beyond exception from medium term rentals.
