I was stuck with negative cash flow and not enough equity. 

The negatives are what you will read in the articles. 

We’re open to zero or slightly negative cash flow initially, as long as the deal provides solid equity potential.

As a negative, it also has the largest gap between the cost to buy versus the cost to rent, making cash flow extremely difficult without committing more equity up front.

Once that phase is complete, I’d transition back into long-term holds.As for the cash-out refi, without at least doubling the rent, I’d be in a net-negative position each month, which doesn’t seem like a worthwhile trade-off.On the tenant side, I agree with your point about the business aspect—it’s something I’m working on coming to terms with.

Cash Flow: The numbers currently show a negative annual cash flow -$21,242.

There are always negative people and there are people who think you just got lucky, well, they are not completely wrong.

You need to know for sure.Even if you raise the rents, the property is still a negative cash flow, so it doesn't make sense.There are always comps.

I have another one were I optioned 120 acres that just got brought into long term planning for chips act. paid 5 million for it and spend 10k a month negative..

They negate eachother.
