Cash Flowing Properties for Sale

Looking for cash-flowing properties for sale? If monthly passive income is the goal, we’ve got you covered. We’ll show you where to find profitable properties, the best U.S. markets for real estate cash flow, and why turnkey rentals are some of the best cash flow investments you can buy!

Rentals Designed for Cash Flow

Turnkey rentals are newly built or recently renovated properties you can rent out to tenants. Since these properties feature updated systems and appliances, they usually require less maintenance than older homes. They also often come with property management on day one, allowing you to invest in high-cash-flow markets from anywhere.

Huntsville, Alabama

Huntsville is the largest city in Alabama, but that doesn’t stop it from being a great market for cash flow. Alabama is arguably one of the most landlord-friendly states, and Huntsville boasts solid market fundamentals, like steady population growth, strong job growth, and low unemployment.

Southwest Florida (Port Charlotte, Lehigh Acres)

Home values have stalled out and even declined in many Southwest Florida markets in the last couple of years, and cities like Port Charlotte have lost 10% of their average home price in the last 12 months alone. But with Florida’s growing population, warm weather, and business-friendly environment, home price doesn’t tell the whole demographic story. This means you could buy the dip on a Florida investment property and potentially get a great cash flow and appreciation play!

San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio is not only the sixth-largest city in the U.S. but also one of the fastest-growing major metropolitan areas. With an average home price of roughly $249,000, it also has some of the most affordable properties compared to other metros throughout both the Lone Star State and the U.S.

Memphis, Tennessee

For many years, Memphis has been considered one of the top markets for cash flow. With a very attractive average home price of roughly $144,000 and a strong average rent price of $1,370, it boasts a rent-to-price ratio of almost 0.95%.

Columbus, Georgia

At around $173,000, the average home price in Columbus is roughly half the national average home price of $366,000. Meanwhile, its average rent price is $1,350, giving cash flow investors a favorable rent-to-price ratio of 0.78%.

“I've purchased 3 homes through Rent To Retirement and I'm currently working on my 4th! I've had nothing but good experiences working with Zach, and all those associated with his company”

Riley Schaefer

“We are now working with Zach to develop a plan to acquire enough rental properties to replace our active income, and retire on our terms. I can truly give Zach the highest recommendation to anyone that works with him!”

Mila R.

"After being a long-time lurker of BP for a turnkey solution, I ended up purchasing my first two properties ever with RTR. I worked with Lars throughout the entire process and landed on two houses in the Ohio area. About a month after closing and my experience so far has still been great."

Darren Yan

“I've bought nine properties so far in numerous markets (all through Zach's company or affiliates). It's been pretty much a hands off experience…Overall I give him a 5-star recommendation, and plan to continue to invest with him for years to come!”

Get More Than Cash Flow

While you may be focused on cash flow, turnkey properties can give you monthly income and grow your net worth over time, thanks to these benefits:

Appreciation

Over time, the value of your rental property could grow substantially. As the owner, you also own the difference between what you paid for the property and its current market value. In 10, 20, or 30 years, you could have hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional equity!

Loan Paydown

Every mortgage payment you make is growing your net worth. With a rental property, your tenants are essentially paying your mortgage down for you!

Tax Benefits

Rental properties offer several tax benefits that many investors overlook. You could take a depreciation deduction as a “paper loss” to offset your passive income. You could also write off mortgage interest, repairs, maintenance, and other property-related expenses.

Leverage

Real estate is one of only a few investments that allows you to use leverage (debt) to purchase assets. While most investment properties require a down payment of at least 20% down, Rent to Retirement offers 5%-down financing on select new builds, allowing you to buy a brand new property with much less money out of pocket!

Cash Flow Guidelines to Know

There are several rules you can use to help determine if a rental property will hit your cash flow goals. Keep in mind that none of these are hard “rules” and are considered very loose guidelines.

The 50% Rule

The 50% rule is used to estimate a rental property’s expenses relative to its rents. It states that expenses should make up roughly 50% of the property’s projected gross rental income.

The 1% Rule

The 1% rule states that a rental property should be able to produce 1% of its purchase price in monthly rent. Keep in mind that this rule is largely outdated and can no longer be achieved in many high-priced markets. Modern investors often shoot for a 0.5% rent-to-price (RTP) ratio.

Location, Location, Location

The biggest thing that the above rules of thumb don’t account for is location. Where you invest is equally, if not more important, than the property itself. Make sure you’re buying in an area with solid long-term fundamentals!

Rent to Retirement has cash flow properties for sale in some of the best states to invest in real estate.

Cash Flowing Properties for Sale FAQs

What is the 7% Rule in Real Estate?

The 7% rule is a benchmark some investors use to determine whether a rental property is worth buying. It states that a property should be able to generate at least 7% of its purchase price in annual gross rental income.

What is Real Estate “Cash Flow”?

Real estate cash flow is the profit your rental property generates after all expenses (including your mortgage payment) have been accounted for. For example, if your property brings in $2,000 in monthly gross rental income, and you have a $1,250 mortgage payment and $500 in monthly expenses (including capital expenditures and vacancy), your monthly cash flow is $250.

Do Turnkey Rentals Come with Tenants?

Many, but not all, turnkey rentals come with tenants already in place. Since these properties are either newly built or renovated, they don’t require improvements—making them tenant-ready at the very least!

How Much Do Rental Properties Make?

Many rental property investors target an 8% cash-on-cash return. However, turnkey rentals may exceed this due to several factors—professional management getting higher rents, updated properties attracting longer-term tenants (less vacancy), and lower repair and maintenance costs.

Can I Invest in a Rental Property in Another State?

Yes! You can invest in another state, but you’ll likely need to hire a property manager or at least have boots on the ground in that market. If you buy a turnkey property, property management is already in place, allowing you to invest remotely and make more passive income!
