Things like 401K match, health insurance, dental, vision - whatever it will go away.Union workers will have their union dues will go up.

Here are five “golden rules” to buying investment properties.Rule #1: Leave Emotions BehindWe all get attached to an idea, a vision, a plan.

The positive cash flow is often times eaten up by management costs and repairs (new fence, new carpets will be needed, plumbing, lawncare, etc) If we were more aggressive in how we negotiated and more specific with our vision/needs we could have found a property that offered a positive cash flow which would cover expenses and while also creating for us a passive income stream.

I get that, but given the long term vision, is there any other reason to form an LLC or not? 

Our vision is to use these profits in addition to some cash saved aside and invest into buy and holds in the US.

@Kai Zhou My advice is to get clear on your desire or your goal or your vision.

I would say that you'd need at least 10 deals under your belt before you can work with someone that may be new, that has detail and integrator skills to become a vision+integrator team.

We can exchange ideas, visions and learn from each other.

The other option is to group your money with investors in a similar position - that have some capital that you want to have working for you. 5 guys with $20,000 pairing up as a team can work if everyone has the same vision and can find a sponsor that can execute the desired strategy. 

@Danny Webber I think this professor is looking at this either with no vision, or discounting what mitigation efforts are in place.
