"I don't believe she's done any bookkeeping for Rental Property"I am going in for heart surgery tomorrow.

Adam, I whole-heartedly agree with Anthony.

For example. if my intention was to live in the new property and then the day after closing I have a change of heart, I do not think that would amount to fraud.  

I didn't really take it to heart until I signed up and found the person they assigned to my account really was on top of things.

The renovations are typically major renos with budgets in the $200-$300k range, so they're not for the faint of heart or an unsophisticated investor.

Nashville has a very young population drawn by a strong employment market with companies moving in frequently.The real estate is very affordable compared to California and you can buy almost anything your heart desires, whether for a purchase or an investment.

I've bought, rehabbed and sold properties quicker than that, and that's with me doing all of my own rehab work.I'd have a real heart to heart with your employer.

They will have your best interests at heart.

BUT if I want to do heart surgery myself, I better educate and practice A LOT before doing heart surgery!

I'll get straight to the heart of my question:  I'm losing money on an investment property which, according to market prices, *should* be very profitable, but why?
