What cities do you see have a fair entry point that cash flows not in a crime filled area?

As logn as you give seller every dollar you receive in “cash” from your sale as a downpayment.

This maximizes rental income while you crunch the numbers, ensuring positive cash flow after factoring in all expenses.

There are better markets if you are interested in out of state investing and fair chance of getting better returns.I would start by fine tuning your investment and success criteria, then pick and research couple of areas before you make your decisions. for example Ohio- Cleveland, Kansas City etc offer better chances of cash flow vs Tennessee-Clarksville may offer better appreciation.

My personal interest is in rental property investment. how much minimum income needed to start real estate investing in British Columbia, Vancouver or Alberta, Calgary region. with current affordability I can only purchase one 2 bed condo. with current rental market its not possible to generate +ve cash flow with even 20% Downpayment. curious how people are making money or is this just real estate scam to sell properties? 

In a 1031 exchange, you could receive cash that is taxable.

You could offer them cash for keys!

Ideally, both kinds of buyers are able and willing to pay a premium price, hopefully in a cash-only deal, for their urban oasis in Spain (whether it'll be their main or second residence), as long as it's modern and ready to live in, which saves them the hassle to renovate it themselves.
