Minnesota does offer more appreciation than other Midwest markets and has traditionally been a balanced market for cash flow and appreciation, which I think is ideal.

If you don’t cash flow with long-term rents, don’t buy the deal.

Hi Linda - your services make a lot of sense for someone who is trying to go the MTR route, however if they are just now buying a house in today's dollars and rates, and setting it up as a MTR, it may be hard to substantiate a few thousand dollars to pay a third party to do the set-up after they just spend tens of thousands, or potentially hundreds of thousands on a house DP in Raleigh + furniture.I think the fundamentals work for someone who's owned it a while, has made great cash flow, and who has been thinking about converting from LTR to MTR, and just doesn't want the hassle of set-up and marketing but wants the returns.

PM could do the same, but they can eat up your cash flow.

"I would be -ve cash flow 200 to 300 per month" WTF!

I would've liked to hold onto it for the cash flow and to use the equity to purchase other properties but my wife and I sold it and got divorced shortly after.

Deciding whether to sell or rent out your home hinges on financial factors like immediate cash needs versus long-term income goals, alongside market conditions in your area—favorable for selling if it's a seller's market or for renting if there's high demand for rentals. 

Would be an all cash purchase.
