Hello,Been looking at single family homes for about a year now. I think I may be focusing too much on the price of the home vs the cashflow. Reaching out for advice from experienced investors on whether it's worth goi...

You can spend an awful lot of money on rei  education and still miss this important step Knowing your market. - Knowing theoretically how to evaluate a deal does no good in you don't know YOUR market well enough to apply it.
