Got the lead from the cold calling agency I use.

Once a month may be difficult for some borrowers and lead to strain on advancing the project.

If your realtor is listing it for free and not helping, that's not much help since leaving you to screen tenants and run through leads is like asking you to perform knee surgery, you don't know what you are doing.All rental listings should get bombarded on Zillow Rental Manager and HotPads, etc in the first week so if you have limited activity, your price is either too high or the photos are bad and the copy about the place is bad.Use something like RentSpree from screening.

If you don't report the income, it could lead to an audit. 

I would not go into an investment knowing it would have negative cashflow. 

@Chris Kay it's VERY difficult to cashflow with 0% down purchases.We do 0-10% down Land Contracts and know going in we may actually have negative cashflow - which is acceptable given the low down payment and avoiding mortgage costs.

I wanted to build up his team, I wanted to help bring him work, I wanted to help in sales and lead generating and buy into his companies LLC.. but even that was fraudulently represented as  In the beginning he had represented himself as someone who had a team in house around 60 people, with vehicles, trailers, tools, lawnmowers, weed wackers, nail guns.. the works.

Fewer than 20 have signed up.You can lead a horse to water...

If you are buying an SFR for 75k, put 175k into the deal (total cost is 250k) and it appraises for 220k, you are negative 30k before any loans are considered.

All my peers and clients who previously bought tax sale properties moved away from the strategy a number of years ago so I don't have any recent experiences to go off of,  but wouldn't be surprised if the lead time is longer this time of year due to the holidays.
