My underwriting would have this large negative cash flow for 7 years.I would do a thorough underwriting but want to show using quick math the issue so I will use the 50% rule.  

With substantial equity in your Fort Worth rental, a cash-out refinance could free up funds to purchase additional properties.

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.

Hi KyleThe way most real estate for sale is priced these days there’s little to no cash flow after debt service with 25% down - borrowing a down payment would put the investor in a negative monthly position. 

I would also ask them about cash for keys since I would initially offer the tenant this. 

The most important rule is to have the cash flow of the new property be able to pay all its expenses, mortgage, AND the line of credit back.

Our portfolio currently cash flows, but cash flow isn’t our top priority right now since we plan to use this portfolio to supplement our retirement in 12 years when I leave the Army.My biggest challenge is committing to an out-of-state market.
