Eric Moreno just know the property will not cashflow when you do rent it out and will be bleeding you cash.

Since you have cupping instead of crowning the swelling is coming from excess water on the bottom of it.

The good news is that your parents are still generating income on the investment and aren't bleeding money.Also, @Joel Owens might be your man here.

Try:1 - running out of money2 - needing to work harder at your job to pay for someone else to live in your house3 - bleeding your seed money you could use for future investments...there's more, but it just gets worse.Buying a cash flow property with negative cash flow, is like a hockey team starting the game out by spotting the other team a goal...and every period spotting them another goal. 

Andrew S. Well

You could bleed a lot of money just in pest control costs alone.Good luck!

My tenants (who haven not paid their rent this month) or the female texted me this a.m. with a picture of herself stating that the dust in the house caused her face to swell.

Consequently, even in a market that does cash-flow reasonably well, I'd still bleed money on any kind of acreage purchase.  

@Andrew Johnson  they self manage.. its a JOB big time and all consuming.. you cannot make a go of it out sourcing management and repairs you will bleed to death.
