I did the analysis beforehand taking into account the managment fee, vacancy, capex, repairs, mortgage, etc and it still came out above my monthly cash flow requirements.

September home sales down 3.8% and Apartment and Industry investors stocks rise.This is another incentive for SFH's to maximize cash flow and not count on appreciation as your payday.

Is the call flow something similar to:introduce yourselftell them you're an investorask them if they have ever considered selling their propertyexplain that I'm honest, professional and trustworthyI'd love to hear some specifics with CL calls with landlords!

I'm closing on a great, cash flowing 5 Plex, and I'm going to be Brrrr-ing.

Rents are hot right now, as long as the property cash flows, it's a potential prospect.

Fortunately home prices are also low enough to the point that things can cash flow. 

With 20k, you could potentially put 20% down on a 80-100k home, but then your equity would be tied in that deal, you would cash flow around 200-500 a month and thats it.

My husband and I are relatively new to Real Estate Investing and are seeking to grow a portfolio of cash flowing properties in order to  achieve financial freedom and ultimately support our desire to serve as missionaries.  

What is preventing me from moving forward at the moment is the contractor part.For example. if the advice I receive is that in order to enable a good flip i would need to be very hands on and that contractors are hard to find , I would likely avoid a more aggressive project like a multi shell.I am looking to flip and hold the first property with the hopes of getting an attractive entry point for cash flow.

All expenses are covered by the rent and I have a good cash flow.
