Private financing is at 11% and will be cash flow negative wither her monthly rent until she purchases the property (she says she will purchase it this year, But who knows).

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there were any real estate agents that live and work in the Rodgers Park neighborhood of Chicago IL. if so, I would love to speak and learn about your experience about finding deals in RPI have analyzed over 500 places using the Bigger Pockets rental calculator, and a lot of them are cash flowiing negative. 

He had negative $10,000 in “savings”. 

With depreciation, sometimes it's slightly positive, sometimes negative on my tax return. 

@Mike McCarthy and @Chris Mason Thank you so much both for your responses.Fast forward to the future, should I fix this discrepancy after closing the deal to reduce my Taxes or it is going to impact me negatively when I decide to renew rentals or sell this property?

And if you're so worried about renting to recent graduates, have one of their parents with income/good credit co-sign the lease for extra 'insurance'.No offense, but it sounds like you worry too much and are creating hypothetical negative situations in your mind which serves no purpose.

I assume it's not good if my cash flow is negative. 

One of my biggest investing regrets earlier on was because I didn't have a good understanding of investment property financing.Like a lot of people have posted, HOAs are generally seen as a negative.

CoC is irrelevant to me; I only measure cash flow.

In 20 years of practice, I only know of 5 instances and all were borrower initiated.
