@Joseph Bogorad, put simply, anytime its principal and interest expenses total higher than 50% of its rental income (in this case, 61% at the asking price), you're looking at a probable negative cash flow scenario (given that your other expenses are commonly around 50% of its income).

Even if I am not seeing any immediate cash in my pocket, I would be reinvesting any cash back into principals, or down payments and fixes to new properties.

Correct, my PITI is about $1,250 and the principal and interest portion were locked in when I bought it in late 2015 but if I were to lump together the cost of my repairs and improvements over 30 yrs instead of having paid for them out of pocket it’d be more like $1,400.

There are also 'loan guarantors' (or 'key principals' KPs) who get compensated for signing on the (non-recourse) loan and bringing their net worth to qualify for the financing (i.e. they get a share of the general partnership).

After all, the beauty of real estate is that investors get paid in multiple ways – principal pay down, appreciation, depreciation, etc.

Ask them, and they'll tell you to never touch RE.Your principal problem is lack of capital to invest.

@Jeanni Prescan and @Alex DeaconHere's the relevant language in the statute:(f) The notice provided for in this section may be served personally on the tenant, or by leaving the same at the principal building upon the premises, or by posting the same conspicuously on the leased premises.So certified mail doesn't work under the statute.

Say your doing a wholesale deal and let's say a lead has about $150,000 in equity and has a principal balance on the property of $100,000.

THEN your cost of financing (principal and interest) comes out of LL profits. 

I am trying to become well versed in the numbers as the guiding principal in my investments.I understand this is probably a common theme on this website so if you have any generic forums, threads, or reading material that you find valuable I would appreciate any help.
