@Bryan Noth You are right. Non-existent was too strong of a critique. A better wording would be extremely difficult. Also, the prices of homes in those areas now creates a barrier to entry for many new investors. Thanks for the perspective!

If your market won't allow your strategy to work, look into other markets. Cash flow in Texas is non-existent in Austin, Dallas/FtWorth, Houston and San Antonio. However in smaller communities, rents are good and cash flow is still strong. Also, in low cash flow markets, Co Living is a great strategy to improve a negative cash flow unit to a positive cash flow unit. Good luck! 

I think one of the other replies is correct. If you are paying taxes, that means that you are making money. There are some tax strategies that you could employ to lower your tax burden. I think anyone who guarantees you won't pay any taxes from real estate is probably a crook. There are great depreciation strategies and some other options for you. Tax planning will help you to manage your expectations and your tax liabilities.
