Cash Flow Confusion

Bradley Cupp
Posted

Just starting my investing journey and am confused about the BP analysis tool. I am looking at mildly distressed properties in DFW area. My goal is MTR, but I am analyzing them under LTR parameters because that is my backup plan. I have analyzed about 25 properties so far and every single one is showing negative cash flow! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I have tried analyzing 2/1, 2/2 abd 3/2 SFH and duplexes in Ft Worth, Carrollton, Arlington and Allen. Estimating rent with BP tool and rentometer. I can't believe there is nothing suitable for LTR in DFW, so it must be my analysis. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

@Bradley Cupp 

you're probably doing everything right.  on-market properties with conventional financing are not going to cash flow right now.
