Multifamily in Austin Tx

So far all duplexes and 4 plexes I've come across in Austin are a no go when I run the numbers using Bigger Pockets calculators. Usually several hundred negative. Any thoughts out there. Looks like one would need a huge down payment to actually get any cash flow. But then your ROI isn't that great. Should I look out of town?

@Robert Tinker

I am a buy and gold investor in Austin. Finding cash flow opportunities requires value add opportunity. Don’t expect to get cash flow without putting some work into the property.
