My Wife and I are looking to purchase our first rental to start building cash-flow (typical story, building generational wealth).

Cash / very fast close2.

Purchase price: $726,000 Cash invested: $1,300,000 Sale price: $4,500,000 We are developing a 4 story a luxury Duplex.Property is primed for short term rentals with conservative estimates of ($40,000-$50,000) per month.

Can you get a loan or pay with cash?

The investor may have access to lower rate/fees Hard Money; to be a more competitive buyer with little to no contingencies; property may be need to be rehabbed and after adding value may be doing a cash out refinance down the road.

I'd like to maximize my income stream somewhat quickly (5-10yrs) while also obtaining monthly cash flow properties.

Purchase price: $750,000 Cash invested: $26,250 I helped my clients find and purchase a fixer duplex to serve as their starter home.

If you are close to retirement or looking to plan ahead I would recommend, Cashing in Tax Free written by Leslie Pappas. 

All have a generally cheap barrier to entry and have potential for cash flow.

We have $100k cash right now and we're trying to figure out if it's worth it to put the cash we have into refinancing Property 2 based on income generated, decreased value, etc.
