My current DTI is at 15%~ so there’s a buffer to cover the negative cash flow.

This property cash flows over $400/month, and has appreciated about $100K+ since we purchased it.

My goal is to at least break even with my property and am prioritizing appreciation over cash flow.

I have been looking at 3 bd/2ba and preferably over 1800/1900 sq ft.I own a condo that I will be renting out which will be cash flowing ~500-600/month

After running the numbers, I would cash flow about $200 a month, based on no vacancies.

Columbus will likely see the fastest appreciation just based on the rate the city is growing, but in Cleveland you will see high cash-flow and Cincinnati is a great mix of both. 

(both properties cash flow $1,300/month so they are money machines)My other option (not ideal) is to put 20% down come out of pocket about $15k, dump $10k into rehab and be $25k into a house that will appraise at for $80k.

My partner and I know we will probably have to start small and have considered purchasing one or two properties ourselves this year to test this out- but our business is not at a place yet where we can afford to sustain the losses on a monthly basis (we are well aware that we will be cash flow negative given the rates and what we will be able to charge for rent). 

If we moved out and didn't do the ADU, the building would cash flow about $500 a month (more, if rates come down and we refinance).

**Subject-To Deals**: Purchase properties subject-to the existing mortgage and convert them into Airbnb rentals for cash flow.
