However, I'm having difficulty understanding the Cash on Cash Return on Investment (ROI) for this property.One challenge I'm facing is that rental income isn't the only cash flow associated with the property.

I would recommend setting up an LLC, and putting your investment properties inside your LLC.1.

What investment will get you a greater return and fit with other aspects of your lifestyle and investment goals? 

When buying your 1st home/real estate investment is a real estate agent needed on your side?

a lot would have to do with whether or not your grandparents estate went through probate; whether your grandparents had a will; whether financial consideration and the amount of consideration was paid for the property by your uncles; any other relatives and who they are; state law for inheritance if your grandparents died intestate, etc.  

Hi everyone,I’m Gabriel Shapira, a real estate investor from Israel, looking to start investing in Jacksonville.

If I have to manage it then I'd want more cashflow as it isn't just an investment but a job/business as well. 

I’m about to PCS to San Antonio for a year and was considering buying an investment property to live in while I’m there, then rent out after I leave.My question is this: since we’re restricted in getting fixer uppers with the VA loan (I know there are renovation loans), what are you looking for with the property?

What's at risk is it may not cash flow and renting is not so common in South Jersey, but I would feel more comfortable investing in a good area where schools are decent to good, and tenants are likely to care more.

Reality is just a mirror of our internal state of being.The more we invest in ourselves, the more we invest in our lives. :)
