How does anyone get the cash flow proposition to work on these things between taxes and insurance? It seems like people are more willing to pay Inflated rent per square foot on an apartment than a house. People seemingly just want to pay like $1800/mo whether it's 500 sq ft or 2000.

Very hard in most markets to be cash flow positive if you have to finance purchase with significant debt. Being a landlord sucks. You can hire a management company, but then you will lose more money. You may make money when you sell. Note that loans are usually more expensive for rentals and may have shorter amortization. Insurance and taxes may be more than if owner occupied. The spreadsheet is your friend, but use it before you buy.
