So I have a potential deal...ran the BP prop calc...but might not understand everything I'm looking at...ok...here we go
1050 rent
927.96 mo expenses
122.04 mo cash flow
4.37 CoC ROI

0.91 income expense ratio
3.54 cash flow using 50% rule....that's what scares me....am I looking at this wrong...is this a decent/sound deal...first investment and I would love some guidance/education...how does any prop cash flow if you are using 50% rule
