Minimum monthly net cash flow

[James Palmer]

I am curious, what is your minimum monthly net cash flow for duplexes that you consider when making a purchase financing?

Mine is currently no less than 500 a month net. My only rental property (a duplex in lubbock tx) has a net cash flow of just over 700 a month, which I love.

For me there are more factors at play than just the net cash flow. 

If I have to put up 20% on a $300k duplex to receive $500/month, I would pass. If I could get in the deal with $0 or very little out of pocket, then of course I would do it.   

But your goals or objectives may be different. You may be trying to preserve capital in a lower risk investment and then it may be something for you to consider.
