Every deal that I analyse never produces CASH FLOW!?!

[Olivier Pare]

Hi everyone, 

I am actively looking to buy a multi family building here in Quebec, Canada (preferably a 6 unit). I analyse deals every day and there is one thing that bothers me.. I never seem to get a cash flowing property! 

I do think that my numbers are correct and I take into consideration expenses correctly (I read a lot on blog posts and forums about how to analyse deals). 

I know that everywhere, everybody is talking about how cash flow is king and realize the importance of it. But is there more to a property than cash flow, or it should be the most important factor in my buying decision? 

I know that my question is pretty vague, but does anyone seems to have a similar problem, or any explications or tips of any kind? 

If you need any more specifications such as numbers or anything else, let me know!

THANKS!

I'm sure if you were to plug in some basic numbers from my properties into your spreadsheets they likely wouldn't cash flow either, but I had $70k in free cash flow last year.

I'll keep buying the properties I do and growing rich while the novices say they would never buy the properties I buy.
