Hey Anthony,

Each investor has to decide for themselves what is important.  For some it is cashflow.  For some it is tax breaks.  For others it might be appreciation.  This deal has negative cashflow without taking anything out for capEx or management.  If you need to show a loss on your taxes then talk with an accountant to be sure this will work for you.  If you need cashflow then this deal is not good.  If you want appreciation then you will lose $800 per month while waiting for the property to appreciate.  For me cashflow is king so I would pass on this deal.  I have taken deals where cashflow is not where I would like it because I know the neighborhood is appreciating so in a year or 2 the rents will make the property cashflow where I like it.
