Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I have only tried it twice so just wondering what the more experienced investors think of this, or is this just something that people talk about to try and make a real estate investing negative seem not so bad? 

Does the tax deferment still substantiate the negative C/F?

Congratulations and keep up the great work because you are providing a wonderful service and positive experiences to the community that typically has negative experiences in housing oh too often.    

I saw some old negative posts on BP about Blue Gate but nothing within last 2 years and I didn't find info on the others. 

This is is a very good area and would actually live in 1 unit, so 3-4k negative cash flow for living expenses is ok, as any house w mortgage would cost that.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfbjOlyVsGW3nHLVPk_R...Key questions/assumptions:- Total for this deal in cash is 300k, anything else (reserves, renovation loan etc) would need to be a bridge loan or hard money- 1 unit is vacant and current rents are VERY under market, projected rent is what seller gave as realistic.

Just be 💯 certain that you'll be able to refi that HELOC debt off when the time comes.However...At this stage in your investment career, I would URGE you not to sign up for negative cashflow in the hope that "the market" will save you.

only you can determine what the right investment is for you, but with rent at $1700, you'd likely be cash flow negative each month.

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

Within three weeks, we managed to coordinate all aspects of the sale, including helping the seller transition her belongings into storage and securing a solid offer.This wasn’t just a transaction—it was about helping a client regain control over her life.
