Negative cash flow for the most of rental properties

[Rajagopalarao Paidi]

I've looked into 15 properties, all of them show negative cash flow, is that true ? how do i find a positive cash flow properties ? Or am I doing sny wrong

I'm using the BP calculator

Buy a new primary at a better rate and rent out your current primary? Buy a SMF and live in part of it? Look at smaller towns with higher returns? Buy a property with lots of bedrooms and rent out the spares to family, co-workers, friends? Lots of ways to get started. I used to dream about refinancing at only 6 or 6.5%. 

Ps. You shouldn’t be investing in real estate if you NEED the cash flow. If you’re just looking for a good investment look at an owner occupant 15yr loan and your interest rate will be the lowest. Used the negative cash flow as a substitute for rent. Your income will be higher with the lower cash flow. 

You notice people still invest in IRAs, 401ks and stock portfolios? These are investments with ZERO cash flow for 30 or 40 years. They are 100% appreciation plays, that’s where the wealth is. Good luck either way.
