We're talking negative cash flow, and it's fustrating.Quick overview, 3 units. one is a 2 bed/ 1 bath, another is a 1 bed/ 1 bath, and the last is an efficency.

- A 0% down, seller financed deal, typically equates to little to negative cashflow!

Zero negative return.

Hey Tyler we hate to hear that your experience was negative sincerely we would have hoped that we could have come to a resolution we know that you and your partner had made a request that we do $800 of work that was unfortunately not in your scope of work at the time we had exhausted $4900 in additional work to ensure the property was to satisfaction which included a new hood range upgraded lvp flooring additional framing  new window and a paint upgrade from a single color format to a multi color format and can lighting all of which was never in the original scope and unfortunately when we requested that we do the work you declined I’ve attached before and after videos of the home for reference https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h0ddll4cyp5g5gq12o73s/Video-J... always twos sides to these stories.. 

I would want to know how you handle all of the negatives and bad outcomes long before you told me how great the investment was going to be.  

Started looking into tax implications and yeah 6% kills all cash flow we were hoping to get and would have us in negative cash flow (-$221/m to be exact).

But I will be honest, the rentals I have been added the last 2 years here in DFW have negative cashflowed.

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.

Despite all the negativity people still want to live in CA.

@Jordan Meltzer unless you find a screaming deal - a Class A property won't cashflow for 3-5 years.Class B: 1-3 years.Class C: most investors don't properly understand the risks, so should stay away from them.So, you may need to deal with negative cashflow, but plan on appreciation increasing your wealth.
