I am delighted to step into the role of Chairman and introduce former Wintrust Mortgage Executive DeAnn O’Donovan as our new CEO.

Quote from @Tanya Maslach: Hi all,I would absolutely be delighted to connect with any investors who are in the Ohio (Columbus) area Dec 9 or 10. 

The unexpected always has a way of sneaking in at the last minute.Here's to a week of smooth transitions and no surprises!

Real estate is often full of unexpected and expensive potholes and you don't really sound geared up for that.. 

Be Patient and Flexible: Market conditions and unexpected challenges can impact your plans.

One mistake or big unexpected expense could ruin you if you only have one or two rentals that are not cash flowing.That said, especially in the current environment, if you are coming from a very strong financial position then there may be times where it may fit your goals to invest in a highly appreciating area with no or negative cash flow.

I have seen far too many times where these do not hit pro forma due to unexpected problems like theft, crime, etc.And, on top of that you are not even going to be in the US and have no ability to supervise and make sure that the people that you hired (who are not aligned with you) are looking out for your best interests.

My bookkeeping firm provides me with a steady active income, which allows me to keep doing deals, cover unexpected expenses, and navigate the occasional black swan event.My Take on Cash Flow:Cash Flow is a hedge against corrections.

It will be delivered vacant, unfortunately I missed the clause in the contract where it says the sellers can live in the property for up to a week after closing so there will be a bit of an unexpected delay there.  

You might hit a few bumps in the road...tenants who imagine due dates are more like suggestions, or unexpected repairs that crop up at the worst possible moment...but that’s part of the ride.
