I'v found, generally speaking, that the better the neighborhood and nicer the home, the lower the cashflow. On the upside, not only is the property generally less of a management headache, but appreciation is generally better. That said, I'm surprised that a 4-unit property doesn't generate combined rents equal to or greater than 1% of the cost of the property. Multi-unit properties generally generate higher cashflows.

My 4-family doesn't meet the criteria. It is true that if I had purchased in a seedier part of town, I could have bought an 8-family and set myself up for greater potential monthly cash flow. But I bought this building as a long-term, low-headache investment. It's in a great neighborhood - in fact, it's in my neighborhood, right across the alley from my house. Houses in my neighborhood range from $200,000 up to $500,000, and I'm in the Midwest. So it's a very decent neighborhood. I'll trade a little less cashflow for a beautiful solid building that will be a great long-term asset for my family. I would not use that as a property searching tool.
