lots of variables here.

1. depends on your location
2. whether a property "cash flows" has to consider your personal income tax situation and your other tax shelters
3. property condition
4. existing financing, owner carry back availability
5. current rental market, current vacancy factor, whether city has rent control ordinance
6. number of units and existing rent roll, whether they are month-to-month, or on leases (effects your ability to raise rent and increase cash flow)
etc
etc
etc

that said, you can make some properties cash flow with 0-5% down in some areas, other areas might need 50% down.

work with a knowledgable broker, very few on GFY have experience in this.
