I served in the United States Marine Corps for five years as a Scout Sniper and completed two combat tours to Afghanistan.

To combat that I have a 25 page users manual that I encourage all of my clients to read before and during using the system, it really helps expedite the learning curve.If you are interested, I can also connect you with some investors who have already purchased and been using Wholesale Hacker, so that you can get their feedback on how it's working for them.

So they want to send me into combat (i.e. 2018 post Dodd Frank Act mortgage market) riding donkey, swinging a butter knife!  

So the mortgage, taxes/insurance, and all general costs of operations are covered entirely by the renters, PLUS I typically add about $50 a month to the principal payment of each mortgage, which leaves me with $4300 in passive income.In my opinion, inflation rates are extremely understated, please see these two articles that drive the point home:http://www.businessinsider.com/if-people-knew-the-...https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-09/devonshi...Essentially, in times when the dollar is depreciating rapidly, in our situation due to excessive years of "easy money" and quantitative easing by the Fed, low fixed-rate debt is the best tool to combat inflation.

My husband is a combat veteran, a former building contractor, and currently is in management in an oil company.

Meaning that you are walking into the deal with negative equity.To combat this downside, you need to focus solely on the cashflow.

@Andrew Chime- it seems that the  generic  consumer  might  finally  be tightening their spending  belts  in reaction to the  rate increases  in the  past  10 months to combat  the inflation  and  try to  avoid recession   .....this likely  will  affect   STRs   until these get  handled ....this  doesn t mean that there  arent  proeprties that  will  still be  great  opportunities  now 

Those kind of problems seem pretty hard to combat. 

This tells me the tenant is use to being or thinks he is in contol and suggests he may be combative.
