Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.

I believe that you don't get returns (failed to deliver) with bulk mailers so you don't know which addresses are bad.That's the simple stuff.My advice is to do various mailings that you or some prepares locally, that go out immediately, using 1st class postage.

Also, you need to be prepared to screen prospective tenants yourself and verify vouchers before committing to lease.

The long hours and dedication will pay off as you learn the ropes and prepare for your first investment.

It sounds like this is their personal residence.

A team of lenders, title companies, contractors and RE attorneys, and significant knowledge of the intricacies of real estate transactions, you will be MORE than prepared to dive feet first into your first deals and will do so with CONFIDENCE.
