Bigger Pockets has a calculator to help you evaluate the cash flow for the deal.2.

. $1000/month loss like @Dan Heuschele calculated is tough to swallow but I’d guess you’re breaking even if you include principal pay down and appreciation.

@Kati Finneran a quick calculation someone told me about was to ensure three units can cover the mortgage.

Of course you want to make a safe, calculated decision when investing into anything, but if the numbers seems right, go after it!

Hi BP, Im analyzing a rental property using the rental property calculator, The ROI 17% and cashflow came out $250 for a property asking price of 69,000. everything looks fantastic, but I see the property was sold in Dec 2019 for $38,000 and it was sold again in March 2020 for $20,000 ( checked on zillow,  source: public record)Are these red flags ?

Use the BP Calculators to start analyzing deals (Get set up with MLSs from a local buyers RE agent, who is also an investor)Hope this helps!
