I'm a new investor looking for ways to find cash flow in this challenging market.  

They took into consideration the amount of rent I've paid and the maintenance I've done over the last 8 years which was awesome of them to do.

Up till then Things weren’t too bad money was coming in and I was cash flow positive by a bit.

Calculate cash flow I would hypothetically receive from STR MTR LTR I would put down the 3.5 FHA.

Most of that here will go into the downpayment and closing costs and even then, especially if you long-term rent out the property, you'll likely not cash flow much at all even if you self-manage.  

@Craig Peck My larger properties 5&8 units take considerably more time and effort than do my 2-4 unit properties.

Currently occupied by a section 8 tenant on a year to year lease. currently paying $1805Cash flow = $800- I left out some CapEx expenses in the report, as this is a newly renovated home, but will account for everything once I dive deeper into this potential investment.

You can get great cash-flow in Cincinnati and I think C areas would be your best bet.

Ideally, my property generates around $500 per month cash flow after accounting for rent, insurance, tax, interest, PM fees.I’ve recently realized that repairs costs have notably affected my profits.

Doing 25% down most these homes are like -300 to -409 cash flow.
