“Lake Effect” cash flow is starting to make landlords rich in this under-the-radar region of the United States. For the past few decades, mainstream real estate investing platforms have almost forgotten this region, and we’ve even overlooked it a few times. Here, landlords can buy affordable homes, make serious cash flow, and see significant investing advantages they can’t get in most other areas. Where are we talking about? Salt Lake? The Great Lakes? Lake Tahoe? Welcome back to this week’s BiggerNews, where we’re discussing everyone’s favorite subject—cash flow (and a LOT of it). We brought Real Estate Rookie co-host Ashley Kehr, a predominantly cash-flow investor, to the show to share why her home region is finally getting the recognition it deserves for real estate investing. If you want the residual income that will lead you to financial freedom and an early retirement, this is the region to look at. You can buy homes for a fraction of what they cost elsewhere, all while getting surprisingly high rent prices, leaving you with a serious supply of cash flow at the end of the month. We’re talking about the MOST affordable cities in this area, why the tech industry is moving in, and one crucial advantage that makes this market almost future-proof.  In This Episode We Cover: “Lake Effect” cash flow and why it’s making landlords wealthy in this affordable area  The most affordable (and cash-flowing) markets in this under-the-radar region Why more and more tech companies are moving into this overlooked area  Appreciation potential and the cities with cash flow AND rising home prices  The “booming” area that has serious infrastructure support for more jobs/businesses  And So Much More!
