Cashflow
How much cashflow for a rental property is considered for it to be worthwhile?
Most Popular Reply

Definitely positive is my answer as well. But the tricky part there is making sure you have enough margin to ensure you stay positive in case of unexpected repairs or vacancies. It also depends on which market I'm buying in. You can't expect the same amount of cash flow in each market. Texas cities will be less than places like Indy or Philly or Birmingham or those, but still more than anything you could ever buy in CA (which I would expect zero or negative cash flow in). So cash flow expected is relative, at the same time trying to make sure it's high enough to allow for some margin.
