My client's cash flow is going up by almost $1,100/month, so he's very happy with his FIG purchase.  

Absolutely,I have a lot of clients working in Detroit and it has some great opportunities centered around 1-4 unit, affordable fixers that, with a little bit of work can become great cash flowing investments with lower annual tax and insurance costs.The downside is that you definitely have to know what you are doing as the good properties need some hefty work, and the market is pretty competitive.

Without knowing your network and assets etc I could not tell you what amount of coverage you would need.

With the rates the way they are and in my area multi-family properties are being listed for a high amount like $800k for a duplex, with 2 apartments and 1 bath each. 

After assuming average repairs and maintenance, you’re AT BEST negative cash flow of $600 per month.

Im currently looking into buying land in cash around the harford county area if I can get lucky enough to use the VA one time construction loan. 

Stay put and use some cash to expand your asset base.

The rental property appreciation is more important to me than cash flow. 

Reason to rent is to have to a loan payed off and a few hundred dollars each month cash flow after all expenses.
