I need help determining whether it is a good or bad idea to bring in an investor.Note: current rental cash flows 200 dollars per month after accounting for expenses and our houses projected cash flow is 200 per month if se don’t refinance.

Good afternoon BP,I am PCSing to Idaho soon and in my search for a Duplex in SE Boise or Mountain Home, I'm concerned that most properties seem to have tenants in place on leases that would continue past the 60 days within loan closing, 60 days being a reasonable time to occupy according to the VA.

Im not really looking for cash flow per se but long term capital appreciation.If I should be looking at other kind of housing (condos, multi family etc) I’d appreciate any tips as well.

Most likely outside of Austin in Pflugerville or SE Austin.

Both are in SE Wisconsin.
