We would have a positive cash flow of 150-200$ after property taxes and property management fee.

Purchase price: $212,000 Cash invested: $25,000 3 bed 2.5 bath townhouse 1 mile from Augusta National (Masters Golf Tournament).

As a lender, we require flood insurance if the property is in a flood zone, which can eat into your cash flow if you want to hold the deal. 

Can I get cash via escrow(they pay advance) and buy coverage later on with $600?

If the property is posted on a fsbo website & Zillow if I was to wholesale for more than what the asking price is on those sites will every cash buyer shoot me down when I shop it even though there’s still plenty of equity available for a fix & flip or to buy & hold or whatever other strategy they may want to use???

The goal is to be close enough with a calculator to make an informed decision, based on your risk tolerance and capital reserves (Cash in the bank for variances in the bills or emergencies).Regarding my comment on off-market properties - I'm referring to the buyer who wants to find a "deal" through a wholesaler, but does not think to use a real estate agent/broker, and is either using cash or owner-financing.

Quick close leveraging a 1st lien against OTHER real estate you on either a cash out refinance, or, if you have equity, you could potentially obtain a 2nd lien against cash flowing real estate usually capped to a max 75% CLTV (1st + 2nd liens can't exceed 75% LTV combined) (5-30 days)4.

I wanted to retain as much cash as possible, while still getting into my desired neighborhood How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You would have to wait for one of those events to happen, then jump in with the masses to fight for the winning bid. 

I thought what better place to get advice is from the Bigger Pockets community.So if you had $100,000 in cash where and how would you invest in real estate?
