I have been there, actually worse since my property was negative cash flowing at the time, and i promise you it is not a fun place to be. 

I would like to obtain my real estate license within the next 12 months to focus on the experience as well as some extra cash flow while working my current job.

Dallas has had some good appreciation, but cash flow is getting harder to come by. 

In the long-term, my goal is to quit my W2 career by the time I'm 30 and live off of my RE cash flow. 

 - Rent: $1550 per month- Vacancy: 5% -Capex 6.5%-Repairs 3%- Water and Sewer and electric and trash and HOA: $0- Insurance: $90 a month- Property management: $155 per month- Property tax: $375 a monthThis leaves me at $166 cash flow per month , $1992 per year.

Not sure what to do, every property I seem to check, has a decent negative cash flow.

I am looking to implement a buy and hold strategy for sfh with good cash flow and appreciation. 

Here is a great article from Realtor.com that gives great insight on the best markets for real estate investors. https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/best...Your $100k-$150k will allow to acquire 1-3 properties at a discount that cash flow well.

Feel free to ask questions for more details but I'll try to briefly lay it out.My 3 year goal it to have $5000/ mo positive flow so my husband no longer has to work his 'day job'.

Ok so I have a coworker who's looking to buy a home in the same area I've decided to invest in he's getting a mortgage in his name and asked if I would be willing to put up half the down payment and split the cash flow between the two of us has anyone done this do you have any suggestions any horror stories any success stories.
