Is a $100,000 rental property ever worth it? We see so many markets across the country that sport cheap rental properties. But, are you really just buying a problem that will never truly cash flow, or do these dirt-cheap deal-finders know something that we don’t?
We’re back, as Dave and Henry answer your questions from the BiggerPockets Forums. First, we’re talking about cheap rental properties—$100K or less—and when Henry will and won’t buy them. How much money should you put down on a rental property? One investor has a different idea than the standard 20%-25% down, and Dave agrees—if you want more cash flow, less stress, and a more stable portfolio.
Is flipping…moral? Concerned homebuyers say house flippers are taking inventory off the market, and Henry…thinks they have a point (to some extent).
Finally, after years of working with hard money lenders, Henry shares (more like yells) some choice words at any lenders listening on how to make the industry suck a little less.
