Looking to get into REI for the cash flow to diversify my income streams and get to financial independence quicker.

Hi All-If an investor follows the rules of thumb that bigger pockets lays out (2% rule, etc) you can ASSUME  that there is a large enough cash flow cushion to absorb any risks in the property.

What kind of cash flow could I make from something like this?

Condos are generally horrible cash flow investments.

So I am not one to brag, but I always see people posting about how to invest with no money. I have been flipping in Austin and San Antonio for a while, and what I'm here to tell you is maybe you can or maybe you can't...

The property is in good condition, cash-flowing..fully occupied.

It is a loan and a loan wouldn't be considered income. 5) While I am not assuming you don't know this, one of the most common misconceptions I regularly run into, is the idea that Cash Flow= Income.

Would like to grow a healthy cash-flow portfolio in the next 5 years to supplement (or completely replace) retirement.

It does not cash flow.

While crunching the numbers, our current property would provide little if any cash flow if we did end up renting it out even if the property appreciated in value due to high HOA fees.
