        "text": "Yes, you absolutely can and should estimate cash flow before purchasing a rental property. This involves researching comparable rental rates, estimating property taxes and insurance for the specific location (like Aventura or Coral Gables), and anticipating maintenance costs. Obtaining a pre-approval for financing will give you a clear understanding of potential mortgage payments. This preparation step allows you to project profitability and identify viable investment opportunities without committing financially, helping you make an informed purchasing decision.",
