If you take out debt to acquire, you will be negatively leveraged.  

Most will be negative because they have had bad experiences with it. 

I’m based in Portland, Oregon, where residential investing seems challenging due to landlord-unfriendly policies and negative cash flow on higher-quality properties.

Still need to screen S8 prospects though.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

The reason I ask is because most deals I see on Crexi or Loopnet or anywhere else create negative cash flow under 7 or even 10 year terms with 7% - 8% interest rate.

I wouldn't have any interest in buying something like this to hold since it would be so far negative cash flow wise on a monthly basis.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

I know the sentiment on this thread has been negative.

As for valuation, I see no reasons why a Junior ADU would negatively impact additional housing unit.
