Buying a SFH with negative cash flow

Hey All,

After analyzing a deal for a SFH rental mortgaged over 15 years I have a negative cash flow for the first six years. Is that an absolute no-no? I prefer the buy and hold strategy so I don't mind having negative cash flow if it will yield more down the road and I have enough reserves to weather the first few years. Any feedback would be appreciated.
