If you're buying something for cash flow then as long as you're in a safe, stable loan program a 40 year amortized loan or IO is the best option. keep the money rolling in and the equity building.

On the contrary, you're left to your own devices on this site (performing searches, scouring posts, networking, etc), though I do find this site to be more valuable overall than the education I received from the Rich Dad program. 

We are home to the most family friendly sugar white beaches, university/college towns & part of one of the fastest growing counties in the country due to great schools, safe environment, low traffic, low taxes and beautiful clean neighborhoods.

That is not to say attacks don't come from "safe" countries too. 

You must pay in full with non refundable certified  funds.There are no safe warranties in this arena. 

I recommend you target minimum 10%+ cash-on-cash returns, 8+ cap rate and 1.3+ DCR to be safe.  

It's safe to say that in spite of the rent increases, it's still not an easy market to buy for cash flow.

Simple does not equate to safe though.BGE owns the meter and the line that comes from the pole to the house.  

I'd say about $1,300/month including expenses and financing is a safe bet. 

It's fun, it's safe & you'll probably learn something that you can apply to your REI strategy.Mentor- As you network you'll probably find a few people that can serve as mentors/advisors.
