With more down, I can get closer to having positive cash flow on the deal.

My question regards down payment sizing, I am wondering if it would be a bad idea to put a larger downpayment on a house to increase cash flow as me and my brother don't see our college years as a time where we can dedicate our full energy into finding/managing deals (and if we do we could always refinance to pull out our equity).

Commercial real estate lenders calculate interest on loans in three ways:✔️ 30/360✔️ Actual/365 (aka 365/365)✔️ Actual/360 (aka 365/360)Real estate underwriters should be aware of these 3 methods and understand which calculation the lender is using.The differences can have a significant impact on the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.Similarly, it can also have an impact on the amount of cash flow that is available to be distributed to your investors.

For instance, I would like to invest in some buy and holds to generate cash flow.

It needs to cash flow at $200 a month - I don't like negative cash flow for the sake of "appreciation". 3.

Not looking to move to do big rehabs.I'm using the BP calculator and getting cash flows of -$800 to -$1000. 

The cash flow here was about as good as anywhere, yet the market was strong and vibrant.  

Own 2 rentals(One condo in 92126 in @2009,One townhome in 92127 @2013 both properties are cash flow +ve ) and own a primary residence.

I'm losing $300 to $700 a month instead of being in positive cash flow (which it was supposed to be on paper). 

It all depends on host/person, but right now the biggest pain point is finding a cash-flowing property with conventional financing.
