I am looking to partner with a close friend of mine (we've worked together many times before with both of us in various roles) to primarily do rehabs for LTR and/or resale.

When I do it at 20% down, I can only find negative cashflow, so I could be looking in the wrong spot, or I need to put more down, or I am missing something all together.I have read that making a 8% return or higher is what to look for, and I can find break even.

Now if it was definitely a single unit and only she could do it and it was properly labled it would be on her.
