The math is not hard. Income minus expenses equals cash flow. Learn how to build income and predict income. Not that hard to do. Master the expenses of the properties in your market. That's going to be learning the utility cost, insurance, tax. What are you going to be paying for property management, general unit upkeep? There's a little bit of learning here, but it's not that hard. This is something that over the course of a week you can really get a pretty good mastery of how to use an online calculator correctly and get the basic math done. Now, it will take months to have a full mastery, but to get 90% of the way there, spend 5 to 7 days just immersed in the math, and it's going to work for you.
