Would artificial grass be considered a negative by renters - i.e. too tacky or 'low-rent' in a fairly high rent rental?

Most basements get water in them at some point in my experience and I see “inadequate drainage”, “negative grading”, “recommend extending downspouts” etc. on most inspection reports.We had a property with a humid crawl space basement and set up a dehumidifier with a hose coming from it to a floor drain so that we didn’t have to keep emptying it’s tank all the time.

I think the biggest negative right now is the amount rentals in the area as the investor focus has moved to this area now.

Concept has been proven across the street.

Hadn't read all the negative comments about capital calls until after invested.Also, what big things are you looking at when you do review them, Chris.

Little background on me to help paint the picture for my business concept.

However, it may be a better strategy to base your decision on cash flow rather than speculative gains.Purchase Price: $480KAnnual Rent: $2,400 * 12 = $28,800Expenses (@30%): $8,640Net Operating Income (NOI): $20,160Cap Rate: 4.2%Another point to consider: if you're already facing negative cash flow, how will your returns be impacted when it comes time to turn the property or if a costly repair is needed?

@Neal Daftaryat existing rents, with property management, you will probably be significantly negative each month on this one. 

They seemed to just rehash the WSJ article but put a more negative slant on it, and probably drew some info from the Real Deal article too.

This creates a negative initial position.
