With that being said I would be careful not to just chase cash flow but instead find a mix of appreciation and cash flow, but at lower leverage. 

Can you please recommend property management who also can find the tenants for us? 

Hi Carlos, In a best case scenario it would be a cash buyer or conventional loan buyer you would need due to the seasoning period of just purchasing the home. 

We often see it when a duplex hits the market with 15-year-old rents, buyers really struggle to run numbers with confidence.

You could potentially buy your house with cash and skip the mortgage.

As a landlord here in Binghamton, I know it's hard to find someone to respond to calls or do miscellaneous repairs in a timely manner and without breaking the bank.

You now know your cash flow and what you can take out.Investors' problems sometimes include not budgeting correctly for repairs and maintenance and not factoring in a set amount that they will be contributing to their reserve account for CapEx (if you have CapEx repairs coming up sooner than later, put away more money into reserves now).To summarize, factor in all expenses and your monthly deposit into your reserve account before calculating your monthly cash flow.

I waited until I was going to move to do the major renovations to conserve cash.

If you’re working on deals in different markets, what’s your approach to finding the best funding solutions?
