Frankly, I'm surprised by all the positive reviews. 

Any feedback positive or negative would be appreciated!

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

How do others manage to create positive cash flow from MF properties with debt?

The people that reached out to me that did sign up weren't very positive about it. 

So I steer clear of them and instruct my team to pass those people along to me to handle.I also have nothing more than my word and all of our 80+ all 5 star reviews. 

I saw dealmachine looks cool but the reviews from others here on BP have not been positive so I have stayed away for time being.

A $240k loan amount on a $249k purchase price seems crazy and I'd never expect to produce any net positive cash flow doing this.How are you calculating your property taxes?

Also, I would check reviews and previous sales experience. 

Today, I analyzed over 10 condos, and while I found one with a positive cash-on-cash return, it was far from impressive.I’d love to hear from experienced condo investors about why this type of real estate might make sense despite the low cash-on-cash returns and HOA fees that cannot be influenced.As a bonus, if anyone has purchased investment properties for their children with a similar goal, I’d really appreciate any insights about your process or results.I am looking at buying 2 investment condos for my children to pay for their college tuition in 13-15 years.
