We will use the high end of this range ($100k)   This implies the initial negative equity position is $150k  $150k (initial negative position)/$350 (cash flow) takes 428 months to recover the initial negative position (35 years).  

While I could write a whole dissertation as to way, I have no appetite to enter into a kind of discussion in which too often egos become prevalent over helping one another.What I would do if I was in your position is to ask about investing in the US to somebody who actively invests there and ask about investing overseas to somebody who actively invests in Europe and the Caribbean and then draw your own conclusions.

If you're not accredited, then I would say the rare syndication that accepts non-accredited investors, or something like FundRise or Crowdstreet or other crowdfunding platform, would be how you get that "riskier" side of the barbell to weigh more.And thanks for your feedback on FundRise, Crowdstreet, Farmtogether, and Groundfloor.

ONLY the contractual position.

I've seen a lot of positive feedback about Northeast, though I have not spent any time there myself.

I'll review any feedback and try to improve as a real estate investor.How are you going to get anywhere as an investor if "I do tend to be someone who ask questions and only wants to hear what they want to hear"?

If they don't pay your judgement you file it as a lien at the courthouse and they won't be able to get a mortgage to buy their home until that judgement is paid because that lien would apply to any house they buy and be in 1st lien position BEFORE the mortgage.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Thank you for the feedback.

How about realizing that when you use the current property taxes of a property you are buying to calculate your per door profit that the following year your taxes will reset to what YOU paid for the property and will likely significantly increase your tax expense - which can take you from a positive cash flow to a negative cash flow on a low cash flow property… now you are paying your tenants to live in the property every month out of your W2 income  hoping for an appreciation play until rents hopefully increase.I could go on and on.
