How to Profit from Investment Home?
With Investment Home we expect profit that comes from two main sources - cash flow from renting and appreciation. To provide both sources of profit, the most important element in investment homes is "smart buy".
You use any appropriate buying methods – foreclosures, fixer upper homes, probate homes, etc. A lease to purchase option can be very useful in buying investment real estates. It helps you to leverage investment money and reach positive cash flow from renting.
We recommend practical course here on money leveraging with an investment home.
Buying foreclosures or fixer upper homes can help you reduce investment money, as well, and improve cash flow and appreciation.

You should not expect significant cash flow from investment property with one tenant (single family residence). Main task of cash flow in this case is to cover the mortgage and current expenses. The current and future value of the rental home is based on CMA - comparable market analysis.
Investing in the rental homes requires one more significant component – property management. With cash flow from one tenant, you, probably, cannot afford to hire somebody to provide property management and should expect to take this burden on your own shoulders.
Under estimation of this component can seriously damage your investment, even bring you losses. This is why your research on potential rental homes should include significant financial planning for years ahead, especially for different expenses - property management, repairing, vacancy, emergency, etc.
