You're absolutely right—positive cash flow from rentals can vary significantly depending on factors like property costs, financing, and the ever changing market conditions.For real estate the challenge isn't just accumulating properties but creating a framework that builds net worth more strategically and sustainably.Cash Flow can be generated in many ways, my intention was to better understand the investor mindset and their approach, if they wanted to share.Based on your example, if using conservative calculations at $100K/door, you would pay $20M for access to $40K/month.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
