Ted, I had some with Coastal Community Bank.

Hello Bigger Pockets  Family - My name is Keith, a SoCal based wholesaler who is new to this online community. 

Glad to see investors and home owners building a community together  :)

I'm interesting in looking at markets in other cities and would like to get involved in multi-family properties and as I continue to learn begin innovating.The ultimate goal for me, like with many, if not most, others, is to attain financial independence as well as security.I'm super excited to get involved and learn as much as I can within this wonderful community!

Dear BiggerPockets Community,I'm looking for advice on this.  

This is my 5001st post on BP in just under 5 years of being a member of this community.

Dear BiggerPockets community,I came across a nice little deal.  8 units in North Philly.  2 are commercial and 6 are residential.  

Hello Everyone,My name is Eric and I am an aspiring to get more involved within bigger pockets and the real estate community.

By all means, community or @Justin Campbell straighten me out where I've gone off course.If my logic is good anywhere, let me know that too so I can stick my tongue out at my wife when she's not looking.Justin, best of luck man, I don't know California at all.

So for me, while cash flow is important, especially to show banks that the properties are profitable in order to get loans on them, I think that an investor should look at the investment as a whole and not just invest solely for cash flow.I would love to get the opinion of the BiggerPockets community on how important cash flow is to them in determining which properties to invest in.
