This is my  first post/question on BP! and my very first deal to analyze. Be gentle.  This duplex is a clean KC metro property in good shape in a historically iffy neighborhood headed towards gentrification over the next 5 years. I intended to pay cash... until I ran the numbers. The total rent (which is reasonable) does exceed the monthly operating costs (utilities + vacancy/repairs/capEx/insurance/taxes) in the BP calculator but by just $8/month! Monthly fixed costs being what they are, and also including the variable expenses as monthly costs too, how can ANY property achieve a monthly positive cash flow of say $150/month per door?  In order to do that, rents would have to be almost double what they are.  Am I looking at this incorrectly?  Im not sure if readers here can see my calculation/analysis or not. I assume so. Again, first timer here. Thank you for any insight anyone can provide.  Ted T
