Property analysis- What is your opinion on this duplex?

[Renee Burke]

Hello, so I am doing my research and using the free tools available on the site (for a minimum amount of time) to analyze duplexes. I picked a random duplex and did an analysis. Unfortunately, because I am not a paid member, I cannot share it with you. However, here is the link to the property https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/...

With a 20% down, there is negative cash flow for many, many years. I do have some questions:

a) Using this particular property, what would someone have to do to get a positive cash flow? HIgher downpayment? HIgher rentals? Thoughts?

b) Also, when doing the analyses, I used the $1500 rental income (one side of the duplex) because I would be living on the other side. Is that the correct way to do the analysis?

Thanks
