Spending a couple of hundred dollars can reveal major issues.

Just based off statistics the vast majority of people (nevermind the vast majority of RE investors) will never replace their W2 income w/ RE income.

My sense is grand majority of MTR's are rented from tenants not in state or in the area for a showing anyway. 

I would tell folks at the time with 30k brand new homes that Lehigh was probably one of the cheapest places in US if not the world to live everything considered US medical and fire and police etc etc and no state income tax.So here we are today de ja vu all over again with hundreds of investors stuck with half built houses and a the vast majority of all these were spec for rental purposes not to live in..

For example, if you have knob and tub or black fabric wire you'll know you'll likely need a rewire or at least a major overhaul to make things work.

Given current rents and historical expenses plus some cost escalation, I believe stabilized cash flow of $12k/year is a reasonable expectation excluding any major CapEx.

.- If the syndicator actually sues this member, we will make the litigation a headline issue in every major BiggerPockets content channel, including YouTube, Blog, Podcast, and these forums.

If you own majority and are able to control hoa which comes with its own headache and not totally passive that can help .  

I always remind myself that nothing can be as bad as the rent decline in 2020-2021 in major cities such as SF..

One Major thing to consider is this.
