David Greene- “If it don’t cash flow, it’s a no go” Me, right nowBuying properties that don’t cash flow is an easy way to lose money in real estate.

Products - and your rental is a product - are priced based on all kinds of factors, including scarcity, business objectives, long-term strategies, etc.

@Eric TilsonDepends mostly on the loan products. 

I would think if you had an apartment building with an elevator and no green space the picture would look different.

If it’s like a MN farm it will be a tiny percent if it’s only housing or a section (640 acres) but a much larger percent if it’s housing plus grain or machinery storage on a quarter (160 acres) usually 3-10 acres can be included with the buildings if it isn’t production land. 

A friend of mine has 20 door at good cash flow from each and now his banker calls HIM with deals they've found complete with a loan product ready to go. 

With such a head wind coming from getting a commercial loan you may want to look at non-qualified mortgage products like debt-service-coverage-ratio loans or possibly a HELOC.

(I.e. don't try to use the hammer to drive screws and paint walls no matter how good you've gotten with it, it simply won't lead to a good end product.)ThanksAndrew

@Philip L.Katie Haller with Simplified insurance does mine and most of my clients and everyone likes her and her product.

The home is on a premium lot that backs up to a green belt with about 10 trees that shade the front and backyard.
