Post: How much cash flow is enough? Boston

So I have a few questions.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking at multi-families, putting for 20-25% to buy as an investment to rent out.  Doing the math on the mortgage compared to the rents, I would only be making a few 100 a month.  With a down payment of 25% at 100k, that would take far too long to recoup. 

How much money is a good amount to make on a rental per month? I understand its a long-term process but I don't want to take years to pay off just my down payment. 

How can you find a good deal to make that amount?  Obviously buy as low as possible, but everything is high around the West Rox, Rosi area.

I just earned my RE license.  Now, I am trying to find a broker to work under.

I just interviewed at Keller Williams SW and they seem to be great.  Any insight on them?

Or Chestnut hill Realty? Coldwell? Cen21?

Thank for any help on this!

Oh and last post - My biggest issue right now is the necessary capital needed to enter the market around here!  I am good with saving and money, but seems like it will take forever!
