If you come seeking advice, you should be open to receiving it and really thinking through each suggestion.For example, you believe you can't sell your cars because you are underwater but let's look a little closer using purely made up numbers:o Assume $1000 in monthly car payments total for the next 24 months = $24,000 more to be paid.o Also assume that you are "underwater" on each car $5000 so if you sell both, you need to bring $10k to the table.o Replace with a single crappy car for $3ko Ignoring time value of money, you just "found" $24k-10k-3k=11k.

This has bad idea written all over it.First, lets look at this as a pure rental and assume the market rent of $1100 and a purchase price of $100,000.Rent: $1100Expenses: $550NOI: $550Payment: $665 (P&I only, $100K, 7%, 30 years)Cash flow: -$165Even with the more optimistic assumptions I tend to make, this is, at best, barely break even.You're probably going to need to put some cash down to get an investor loan. 20% is pretty much minimum.
