So, for example, I've found two multi-unit buildings in my City, a 3 and a 4 that should cash flow decently.

Any mortgages would be amortized over 20 years.1) if I do the minimum down of 15% they won’t cash flow as good.2) if I put more down it will limit the amount of properties I can buy.I’m wondering what your thoughts are on my focus.

Cash flow is good but tenants are a challenge from what I hear.

We are looking to buy another, but maybe focus on Investing in more of a Vacation Rental this time, as we have 7 long term rentals and we feel our cash flow is good right now, and would like to explore the possibility of having a vacation rental, somewhere we would use as well.

Hi ,I am looking to make some investment in Durham which I can buy and hold ( cash flow from rent ).Based on my research there are areas that are good and some are not so good and its tough to figure that out.Could some from Durham share some insight on this and any suggestion on what area to go for if i have to buy and hold for rent , i am thinking of sticking to C+, B-, B, B+ zone only ?

I am simply looking for advice moving forward, how to get started on my next move, especially when we have little money now, and cant get real cash flow until we move.

We would probably be able to finance the initial purchase, but would need to have the two units we are not living in cash flowing ASAP.As far as we can see it will need LBP remediation (in Alabama you can seal it and paint over it) so probably $6k in total for both units to be rented, and an air system in place.

This increase will make it MUCH harder to find and buy positive cash flow producing assets.My questions for the community:1.

The problem is I really didn’t have much cash flow.
