What is Cash Flow?
Cash flow is the heartbeat of a rental portfolio. Positive cash flow means the property pays you to own it; negative means you subsidize it.
How to calculate it
Cash Flow = Rent − Vacancy − Operating Expenses − Debt Service. A safe rule: never underwrite to less than $150–$200 per door per month.
