There is almost no scenario where a condo would ever positive cash flow while servicing debt, and very little positive cash flow with no debt.If your budget only allows for a condo, find a better place to put your money to work.   

Was the condo a good size unit and in good condition?  

You can buy a solid duplex with $1800 rents and no owner expenses for $350-$4325,000 that will appreciate and build wealth and cashflow.

Hello everyone, what should I look for When I inspect/ tour a condo for the first time?

If you're considering starting with a duplex using a VA loan, that's a great strategy, especially for house hacking.

I still owe about $140k on the current condo.  

I'd recommend looking for a house versus a condo.
