I think if you could find that then it would cash flow too (or at least be cash flow neutral) ...

If your cash flow is neutral, or even negative but partially offsetting some of your living expenses, you're almost certainly doing much better off than renting.

Pick a nice neutral paint and buy it in 5 gallon buckets for all of the rentals to share, etc.Plus, your tenants are going to be buying your house for you, you'll have the tax advantages of depreciation and interest, etc. 

I position my loans to be cash flow neutral.  

“All the Texas markets now are in between neutral and tenant-favorable conditions, where a year and a half ago, all were landlord favorable.”

Just when the expected capex comes up it eats into the gains I had so it's almost like I said a neutral effect in obtaining and maintaining positive cash flow.

About cash neutral if financed (likely slightly negative cash flow).It is a lot of work doing an owner builder ADU addition for something that if financed appears to have negative cash flow initially.  

If the laws are what they are in other states, that means he no longer "represents" either side, but acts as a neutral party - not negotiating for one side over the other. 

That was not the intention.Let's just say that all of the Universities that have financial degrees, other professional degrees such as CCIM, CFAs, etc. all need to understand these calculations.It's a requirement for these degrees and designations.What I am saying is that learning the IRR is really NOT hard at all, whether or not you believe it will help you, the evidence does point to the ability to have this particular calculation as one of the best tools in your financial tool box.The problem here is that if those of us who really understand the calculation of IRR can clearly show that Positive, Negative, Neutral cash flows, Zero, Negative or Positive Appreciation, etc. can all be taken into account with one calculation and regardless, it can be proven mathematically that there are enough scenarios to dispute the theory that only Positive Cash Flow Properties are the safest and highest returns for an Investment.I'm hoping that there are at least a few people reading this thread will want to investigate it, but having people say that HEY...

A properly wired sub-panel has ground and neutral wiring that remains separate; this is a key distinction from a main panel that ties directly to the service line from the electric company, where the bus bars are used interchangeably for ground and neutral.
