Negative comments in this string are not related to Grocapitus performance.2.

Quote from @Sherief Elbassuoni: Whenever I have cash, I put it as a downpayment for a new rental.Even if you got 4-5%, this is less than inflation, so your money is loosing valueMonth over month inflation is more current information than year over year...and it has been near zero in total for the past nine months and negative for 5 of those 9 months. 

Is there some reason that you or the company simply don't discuss what happened and use this as an opportunity to turn a negative post into a positive one for the company?  

Now, this would obviously be negatively cash flowing since you would need to pay taxes and insurance.

From what I understand, that essentially negates the protection you get from having an LLC.

Cities with slow or negative population growth you should be much more picky on cashflow. 

i'm just making numbers up, but if your rent on a property is $1000 and your all-in cost is $1500, and you're negative $500 a month forever, that doesn't make sense, even if you can afford to cover the $500 with cash from another income source.i also agree with not using up all your cash, but that just means you might need to wait and save up more cash. 

High property tax isn't an automatic 'no', but is one negative factor in my analysis.

Sounds like the person you asked is projecting their prior negative experience with duplexes.

I'm seeing a lot of negative stuff here and it's a big price tag, but for me I think I really need the coaching rather than hunting and pecking on my own since my learning curve is huge and I don't even know what region to begin in.
