I need someone that understands the investor mindset and is able to find good deals in the right marketplaces for buy and hold investing for rental property cash flow.

What rent would you have to charge to achieve a positive cash flow?

But what I thought they said is to figure out the cash flow and then divide it by two because history has tended to show that unexpected expenses (new water heater in yr 1, roof repair yr 2, etc) tend to eat up about half of your earned cash flow.  

I am not sure where you came up with the $100 a month in cash flow for a Duplex.

Great cash flow and good have good credit.  

If you include it, that lowers your cash flow significantly.

I was planning on buying a property in NJ and after all the numbers, there is still a negative cash flow.

More specifically I like the idea of becoming a landlord and having cash flow every month.

We are pretty leveraged, but each purchase had some built in equity and has potential for decent appreciation and will cash flow well.  

Would need to understand credit score, loan to value, loan size and cash flow of the property.
