LTR doesn’t immediately cash flow. What to do?

Posted

Ok, beginning investor here. 

I have a good stable job, so cash flow is not needed to live on. But the B class duplex properties in my area (Springfield MO) are priced so they don't cash flow before they're paid off. 

in other words I have to cover $300-600/month for about 5 years (on a $250K+ properties).

The reason I can pay off in 5 years is I have ability to pay large amounts against principal every month (from my regular job income), but I only have 82K for a down payment.

Once it's paid off, the property would produce almost 1000$ net cash flow.

Are these good numbers or do I need to do things differently?

What is a good strategy in current economic market for B class properties that don't cash flow immediately?
