Ok I posted this in another thread- "Ok brand new wannabe investor here. I have a possible deal that if I have worked out correctly will cash flow 2,000 a month. Please let me know if I am doing it right. I want to offer 200k on a property that brings in 4950 in rent. If I use the 2% and 50% rule I am doing ok (if I am understanding them correctly.) It's an older 8 Unit. The only thing I didn't quite understand is how to factor in the loan. I will be putting in 20% 40k on a 30 yr @7%. Is this good? What am I not seeing. Any and all responses are welcome. Thanks " Someone did say its a good deal, and at the end saying "if that's the whole story". So my second part question is what should I be asking to get a bigger picture? Thanks for your reply's

john thanks, I will move it over there. And yes that is my question. "Is that the whole story?" One more question what "other" things should I be looking at? That a lot of new people fail to ask?

Hey scott I actually had not gotten that far. I just saw the deal yesterday and called to a bank so he just gave me a quote. What would be "good"? I mean to make something like this worthwhile? Thank you for your response and sorry for all the questions as I am just trying to get my feet wet.
