With out knowing your actual cash position, it is tough to tell.

My criteria is cash on cash return.

Need to keep that cash moving!

That way it could show the properties that already cash flow, rather than having to run the analysis manually on a bunch of properties. 

I recently acquired a commercial mixed use at a great price and now that it’s fixed up, it’s worth considerably more and cash flowing well. 

In Columbus, appreciation is between 7-17%, and cash flow is at 8-12%. 

My assumptions are:1) Cap-ex, maintenance, vacancy, and PM costs are around 33% of rent. 2) My desired cash-on-cash return is 12%.3) My taxes and insurance, for argument's sake, are a combined $550.
