The high tax eats away a lot at the cash flow.

They like that.My super duper, proprietary "Quick Calc Pro" spreadsheet tells me in minutes what price I can pay for the property, what my cash flow will be, what my entry fee is, how much I can wholesale or fix & flip it for, how much to give the seller, and a ton of other items that only someone deranged and experienced would care to know.

Buying a second home to rent out is a solid strategy, but be sure you understand the cash flow, including mortgage, taxes, and potential vacancies.

Max helped me buy a condo in Little Italy that has insane cash flow because of this new license. 🙏🏼 

However, it is important to note that if a leverage you're looking for doesn't qualify with DSCR, it means that your cash on cash return is negative (because it means your NOI or Rent is lower than rent -in most cases).So if you want to maximize leverage and are less cash flow sensitive (okay being negative), then conventional makes sense.

Purchase price: $115,000 Cash invested: $42,000 Sale price: $168,000 Unfortunately, we bought this property as a buy and hold property, and our research led us to believe that this neighborhood was up and coming not in a bad area of Jacksonville.

Stack cash & build credit. 

Hey @Divine Nasikpo,If you have limited cash or assets, there are still ways to start earning in real estate:Wholesaling: While there are mixed opinions, wholesaling can be done with minimal money.

Small multi-family properties starting at over $1M, which is pretty expensive and, resale single family (before year 2000) offer minimal cash flow (~$200-300/month).2.

Further context, I have zero debt, high 700s credit score, one other investment property here locally. 175k in cash available, looking to do DSCR loans or cash and then refinance.Peoria, Illinois- Great need for lower income housing, market appears to have many options.Lawton, Oklahoma- Looking only at extremely cheap properties, as it seems it’s not terribly hard to find renters.
