You should bet on all the other levers of real estate including the tax benefits, cash flow, mortgage paydown.

Should the time 0 investment only include the cash investment (down payment) or the full purchase price (down payment AND mortgage amount)?

Guys i have a question if i did the brrrr method all the way with the rent in the end..my question after i did the second mortgage of course... the equity i have in the property van i get Heloc on this or not ?

Working with a close friend who is our broker and my wife (who recently acquired her real estate license).I'm paying $2200 mortgage, if I could I would rent out, I want to be certain I can make a profit as I most certainly can't afford two mortgages.

Mortgage, taxes etc amount to 1200 and HOA is 200.

However, it is important to carefully document the reasons for the transfer and maintain proper documentation to support the exchange.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

yes there are definitely options out there offering upto 80% cashout as long as the rent covers the mortgage even or better .

These are the properties we see investors have the most success with (some quitting their day jobs from the cash flow).Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/doorAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C+, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, mortgage, Amazon fulfillment, and more jobs.The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties where the condition isn't what it appeared to be and/or the tenants never pay rent.

You will have a place to live and have other people pay down your mortgage.
