I have a mortgage connected that, for some reason, reports it as an escrow balance, throwing off my balance sheet. 

Another throws around the made up terms like “snowball” and “infinite” as if they have some magical power to rewrite the rules of finance.  

These properties today can throw cash like crazy, but you'll be dealing with a certain kind of tenant and depending on your tenant screening could be looking at higher costs due to poorer tenants.

Im not a lawyer, Id flip that house though. maybe get the priest to come throw some holy water on it. 

If an asset is throwing off a certain yield that is not commiserate with it's risk, then investors will then begin paying more for that asset, thus decreasing it's yield....or start paying less for the asset which would increase it's yield, until it was at the proper risk/return rate to produce the yield that is truly reflective of it's risk.The problem is novice real estate investors get the risk/reward correlation backwards.

They arent much used.I think what you supply depends on your local market and if you sense throwing something in to sweeten the pot to win over the right tenant is a good move.

Throw in a few nice touches, like coffee or board games, to wow your guests.Keep extra linens, cleaning supplies, and essentials like toilet paper handy so turnovers are quick and easy.

For example, most real estate deals throw off significant depreciation which can provide a very nice short to medium-term tax shielding benefit.

The location you're referencing will likely require substantial rehab capital.There may be some out of state investor who hears NC and throws their money at a portfolio, but this feels like it'd need to be cash transaction.

The greatest profits are in properties that can be repositioned to a higher and better use, or appreciate the highest over time, or will throw off a TRUE cash flow of 20% per annum on total investment (cash + debt + capital investment).
