Deal Analysis- everything is a negative cash flow

Hi! New to investing and learning everything I can. Every property I analyze seems to result in a negative cash flow, even when using the Bigger Pockets Deal Analysis Calculator. Looking at investing no more than $ 300,000 for my first property, with a 20% down payment.  Is it me doing something wrong?! Or are there no deals for my budget?

    @Chelsea Coltman most properties on the market do not cash flow. Finding and negotiating good deals is a large part of being a successful investor.
