Hi all,A long time ago Brandon Turner (@BeardyBeandon) mentioned his minimum criteria for investing was: * $100/mo/door cash flow* 10% CoC annual return I’ve used that as a guide since I heard that… thank you Brand Turner! 

Our current rental was purchased for roughly $340k 7 years ago and is worth in the mid $500’s now and is paid off, and our primary was purchased for $430k 4 years ago and valued low to mid $600s and we owe $180k.Option1 we are considering are a fix and flip to provide cash for a down payment for a long term rental to allow the rent to cover the mortgage and at least break even.
