I feel like if you dont want to spend too much time figuring out the flow then it's a good alternative.

That being said my residential rental will have a positive cash flow of $500 and I plan to rent out this other side of the duplex immediately and will have a balance of 600 to cover for the mortgage.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re more focused on long-term appreciation and future benefits rather than immediate cash flow.

This is about the rate of a faucet(w flow restrictor) running 24 hours.

By "Tax Loss" I mean that it is likely that without depreciation your property is cash flow positive.If you Materially Participate in the management of your portfolio of rental properties, that loss will be treated as Non-passive, and will flow through to page one of your Form 1040 tax return.  

  $6k per month and $30,000 to get it going and it cash flowed about $20k a month. 

Buying a second home to rent out is a solid strategy, but be sure you understand the cash flow, including mortgage, taxes, and potential vacancies.

If you're looking for cash flowing markets.. a lot of investors, including myself, are looking in cities like Cleveland.

The units are all currently occupied right now, so we won't have to worry about the buyer's market right now haha.With the cash flow I will receive, it will be enough to take care of property taxes, insurance, and enough to save up for any emergiences with the unit that I will need to take care of, so no need to worry, I got you :)!

If you're looking for cash flow you can easily make $300/mo net on a single family property in a better neighborhood/condition.
