I would say the cash flow would go up every year and that would usually be the case but my son will be moving into one unit probably for just the labor to rehab the last unit (collected rent will go down for a year).After that rehab is complete, at market rent I would have about $8k/month cash flow with underwriting that most would consider conservative (for example $1200/month allocated to maintenance/cap ex).
