Analyzing & Buying Rentals

[Mandi Baxter]

So 2 questions about rentals:

1st, I haven’t purchased any rentals yet but I have had a few come up to analyze and when I analyze them they always come up as negative cash flow. Am I doing something wrong or is it just part of that finding a lot of deals that don’t work out before you find a good one?

2nd, I have only purchased SFH but I am looking into multifamily and I heard about Crexi and found a lot more properties than what's on MLS. I also recently heard them mention on the podcast that when you get into larger multifamily you don't have a buyers agent. I know this is kind of big question but how does that process work? Any references for where to learn more about the process?
