@Trevor CrabtreeCheck the math and the rents and make sure to factor in your cash flow calcs for maintenance and a cushion for bad actors especially  out of your area.  

So expand on your thoughts on where you see the risk or biggest risk given what I have said above..Maybe I am doing my math wrong ?

For example, if in the rental application you don't put xyz it's illegal and you can get suedif in the rental application you mention xyz it's illegal and you can get suedif you put clause xyz in the lease, it's illegal and you can get suedif you don't put xyz clause in the lease, it's illegal and you can get suedif you sign the lease wrong, the whole lease is void and you don't have a leaseif you don't provide xyz to the tenant, you can get suednot to mention how unfriendly my state is with respect to landlords, if a tenant is not paying rent, good luck evicting them. plenty of properties in my market for dirt cheap because it has deadbeat tenants and nobody wants to deal with them.yes in an ideal world I have 20 lawyers and accountants on speed dial who I can call any time, but lawyers and accountants are expensive and I have done the math, at best if you are really lucky you can barely cover your mortgage, I don't have money for a lawyer.

I recommend a simple spreadsheet to check your math and it will make it simple to adjust each year.End the complaints.

You will actually take classes and do homework.

//cash Yikes, sounds like investing in real estate requires some good math skills.

It's a shame people here talk and don't even do their own homework on what he offers.

I’m currently doing my homework and preparing to make an offer on my first property, a commercial/residential building and I’m looking forward to utilizing the resources on BP and especially the experiences of all the other investors. 

Haven’t quite figured out how the math works yet on that strategy…Dennis, patience is a great recommendation.

RE is just math!
