It actually is not cash flow positive if not generated solely by the merit of the property itself.If buying cash flow is your approach to wise investing then in theory every property can be cash flow positive.

s response might have come off a bit too direct, the information he provided has merit - whether or not every assumption made was accurate for your friend's particular case.If I were your friend, I would look for another place or attempt to renegotiate the lease with the landlord. 

@Robert ZuccaroYes its absolutely possible to make money with FHA.In fact, your deal should be based on its standalone merits.

Every situation has to be evaluated on it's own merits. 

I have recently requested to have my PMI dropped on my primary residence because I believe the value of the property has increased enough to merit the PMI cancellation.

Every option has its merits, but outlining all those exceeds what can be posted on a forum.

It sounds like you're trying to steer the conversation on the merits of certain dog breeds versus others, but the data is the data - despite any personal anecdotes people may share. 

In my experience Crazy people like her just need to be heard and that their thoughts and feelings have merit and matter .

The problem with allowing this behavior is that you are training them on how to treat you and they may be likely to pull the same thing in the future cause as they may think that you are a pushover-   Now they may be long term tenants with a good history of payments and this may be a special situation that they need to get over and obviously that merits a case by case review - but generally speaking   you should start the eviction process as soon as  your state allows - it is always possible to cancel it if they pay and you choose to accept it - but at least you will let them know that non-payment is not an option that you will put up with.

You will find merit and $ by taking advantage of tax free and tax deferred accounts.
