How much cash flow do you want?

[Marcee Stephenson]

My investments consist of SFH and duplexes in the price range of $40-$60K. Most of the units cash flow $190-$250 per unit. Our cash position in these is 20-25%.

I've been approached about buying a huge duplex (2269 sq ft) with a single and 4 car detached garages.  The price tag is significant at $210,000.  When I run my numbers, based on the current rents it barely cash flows, But with the current owners increases that will go into effect Jan 1, 2020, I would be cash flowing $250 per residential unit and $100 total on the garages per month, and that is at a price of $195,000, not $210,000.

My question is does it make sense to buy this large of a property yet still get the same cash flow as my $40-$60K homes?  Seems like a lot more risk for not enough gain.  Or, do you see it only as how much "cash" I have in the deal vs the monthly cash flow?

Any thoughts on this would be helpful.  Thanks.
