Although I have over the years invested in California, I am venturing out of state now as cash flow is my goal at this point.

Here is what I mean:Average Cash Flow Per Door In Phoenix Metro Areahttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/600/topics/58...

Positive cash flow $700/month Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

High cash flow How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

However I still am paying around $1000 for "rent" but as my equity builds, I look forward to getting a home equity loan in a year.I advise finding a home that has the potential to build a granny flat or ADU in the back.I plan on building a separate unit in the back, which will allow me to have cash flow! 

If I had to assume he's keeping the building for the cash flow but doesn't want to or can't invest the money into fixing up the building.

@Cody L - at those ratios are the deals cash flowing well?

Any real estate agents knowledgeable about investing in multi units or SFRs for cash flow? 

I'm most excited about multi-family properties using the BRRRR approach, especially liking the idea of then renting them using Airbnb since the cash flow is so much higher in some areas.

Here are some rules to follow to mitigate risk if buying at this point in the cycle:Buy for Cash FlowMake sure your asset is spinning off plenty of cash to the point that you can experience a year at double the average vacancy rate and still be cash flow positive.
