So trying to acquire five more properties without cash and have them cash flowing is going to be a huge hurdle.

I'm correcting the misinformation you are posting and trying to get further clarification on what you are posting.

This past summer he got stabbed in the neck trying to break up a fight. 

@Dominic Mazzarella Not sure what happened to the lengthy response I wrote out - i'll try to re-summarize it here. 

Trying to bring this back to the top.

I'm trying to understand if the lease begins on the day of closing or the day after, if closing is at 2pm. 

I tried calculating value based on NOI and cap rate (see below) but I'm new to this and the value seems to come out lower than I would expect.

everyone wants the distressed assets you're trying to find.the short answer to your questions is: start going to lots and lots of meetups and network in person.i would also think about house hacking as soon as you can. 

---You can try to increase your chances of cashflow by buying a beatup property and BRRRing it.2) Buy Class C cautiously.

Now we are trying to find more investors to do this deals with, networking has been something we have to get better at.
