Orhi Cleveland, Ohio is a great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone up 2x and upwards of 4x in the last 5-10 years even!

I paid cash for the first property, then used a combination of cash and an equity LOC on first property to buy the second.

The monthly rent is $2525 with the expenses of $800 and the 30 Year note is $900 which leaves a positive cash flow of $800 monthly. 

I’ve been listening to the podcast for about four years now .I just decided to step it up and be active on the forms as well as upgraded to pro and I’ve been using the calculators on daily basis and it’s been amazing .I live in North Hollywood, California and I have four rental properties in Kansas City, Missouri.I am to grow my portfolio with cash, flowing assets and open for partnerships.I am a General contractor here in California, having a lot of experience with the building  procedures as well as good couple hundred thousand in cash ready to invest, looking for good opportunities, and tired of standing on the sidelines.Thank you for this awesome community!

It would be nice to cash flow and I assume that is rare so appreciation is the goal within the next 3 to 5 years.

They give you access to cash that you don't have to pay for until you draw it. 

@Alison CromwellIn order to obtain a flip loan with no consistent income history, the following steps need to be undertaken: create an impressive credit score, put aside more funds as a down payment, check out new methods of getting funding besides what is available from banks or other financial institutions, involve yourself in investments with toughened entrepreneurs, show how financially sound you are by doing things such as getting enough money into savings over time through frugal living habits or accumulating valuable assets that can be readily converted into cash when required among others like developing several stable sources of income or steadily growing one.

So I think what you're asking here is how an appraiser would value your property. if it's five or more units, it is quite likely the appraisal would be based on cash flow and Rental income.
