If anyone has a listing they feel can give me a positive or at least a neutral cash flow after an 80% LTV mortgage, maintenance, taxes and mgmt fees then please send my way. I am now looking in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Please include any properties that are being sold with a tenant or any properties that need some refurbishment, I am open to taking on a project if the numbers are right. If you do send me any links please also include the projected rent that could be achieved. I am very serious about buying and in a  position to do so now.&#13;

All brokers are members of Real Estate Board of New York have access to all exclusive listings and you just need one experienced person to provide you with all possible options and help you analyze them.</description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:31:07 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by John DL Arendsen</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Encinitas_CA-852516/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Encinitas_CA-852516/</guid><description>You asked this same question on Trulia yesterday only you were looking for properties from Malibu to Orange County. I left you a comment but you've yet to answer. Are you asking we RE professionals to just send you listing to peruse and consider without any assurance that we'll end up working with you on them. Just how do you see yourself working with us? &#13;
&#13;
Exclusive Listing Agreemtnen? Buyers agent with a contract? Hand shake? Verbal agreement? LLC? I think these are valid questions. I work with a wide variety of investors/partners in myriad deals but I have aome type of agreement with them before I invest any time looking for properties for them.</description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:17:23 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Fern Hammond</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-1521524/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-1521524/</guid><description>1175 York probably will meet your criteria - $450K is merely the asking price!</description><pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:00:30 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Wei Min Tan</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-767904/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-767904/</guid><description>It's highly unlikely that one could break-even on cashflow with an 80% LTV in NYC.</description><pubDate>Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:46:25 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Fern Hammond</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-1521524/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-1521524/</guid><description>Look ar 1175 York apt 1B - condo  940 feet - listed at $450K - price has flexibility -  needs refurbishment  but windowed bath and luxuriously large  windowed kitchen -  you can make this unit into a 2 bedroom and rent should be around $3650.- $3750.&#13;
Common charges and taxes are around $2400. - including depreciation etc - you should be good $$ wise  with this and when 2nd ave subway comes  ( 6-7 years)  york avenue properties will rise in price .&#13;

Very good investment property with very low monthlies. Pictures will be up later this week. I believe it could be rented for approc $3000/month. Maybe a little more. With 4.5% mortgage you'd have to put down a bit more than 20% to break even on the rent.&#13;

However, in general, you're setting your sights too low. If you're putting 20% down, don't settle for a neutral cash flow. That's 0% return on your investment. It's true that there might be appreciation, but you can't depend on that. No one's going to guarantee the property will appreciate, or even retain its current value.&#13;
&#13;
If, for instance, you found something for $500,000, then 20% down would require an upfront downpayment of $100,000. With a neutral cash flow, you're getting 0% on your $100,000 investment. Might as well put your money in your mattress (or a mattress in New York, if you're facing currency fluctuations).&#13;
&#13;
Besides, it's difficult to calculate all the costs upfront. It'd be pretty easy to assume a neutral cash flow, then find out that it's actually costing you $100-$200 a month or more.&#13;
&#13;
Be more assertive. Demand a good positive cash flow. Don't settle for a minimal or nonexistant cash flow.&#13;
&#13;
Hope that helps.</description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:13:18 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Fern Hammond</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-1521524/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-New_York_NY-1521524/</guid><description>Please look at apt. 1B at 1175 york - it can be made into a 2 bedroom apt. and rented for around $3800.</description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Oct 2011 08:21:12 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Elena Ravich, Manhattan Expert</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-10019-2854563/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-10019-2854563/</guid><description>Are you looking for residential properties only or multi-family, as well?
