Makes perfect sense.However, I've got a large pool of starting capital, easy access to financing, a good network of cash flush friends/family for private lending and partnerships, and live in a low cost / high cashflow area (Indianapolis).

Sure they may flush things down the sewer and let the water run, but they will not be putting holes in the walls and floors or spilling things on the carpet as they will in your apartment rentals.

See if you can find out what the heck he's flushing down that drain

We put $70k down so we weren't feeling too flush, BUT at least with all expenses in we were only losing roughly $400 per month...less than a third what we were paying to rent. 

Now she's currently destroying the home by flushing tampons and pads down the toilet to get the plumber out every week, she's sabotaging appliances to get maintenance to come out 3-4 times a month.

I had a plumber who said not to flush baby wipes(lesson learned).

Furthermore, the real estate market in general isn't flush with cash flowing on-market deals right now, so you'll have to do something additional to create deal flow.

@Tzvi NussbaumWhat’s the reasoning to flush the income as passive?

If you are going to go all in on the first hand, just make sure you aren't chasing a flush.

If I were to replace a toilet in one of my units it would be with a toilet that provides maximum flush.
