It's atypical to find a building any more that is ALL knob and tube.   

Everyone seems to talk about including the costs of the new mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance & capital reserves, and the vacancy projections when looking at realistic cashflow, which we already do for all the properties in our rental portfolio.But we, like many, cant find properties that are making any cashflow sense right now.

How are you all navigating this market and finding rental properties that cash flow on a monthly basis?

This should eliminate the homeowner (1) selling a property while remaining liable for the note (subject to), (2) tying  up his property with a “buyer” who has no intent to close unless he finds someone to pay a higher price (wholesaler), (3) paying above market rental for an option to buy that can never be exercised (4) purchasing a property from a fix n flipper who did shoddy rehab, (5) purchasing a property with nebulous legal title, (6) contracting for home improvement with a fly by night contractor who then puts a mechanics lien on the property and (7) “listing” with a wholesaler disguised as a Realtor who doesn’t put the home on MLS.

Even investors that put very little down on their initial property purchases are finding that they have equity that can be allocated towards portfolio expansion.

If you have storage space, you can find some really nice stuff for zero or low dollars to have ready to go just in case.

Hi all,I am hoping I can find some guidance here in this group. 

The Midwest and Southeast would be your best bet but under $100,000 is pretty challenging to find these days unless you go to really bad parts of town, which I would recommend avoiding unless you're a specialist.
