Not giving you grief on a past decision, but helping you think through different investment decisions in the future.

It could negatively impact the relationship. 

We are ok with no or even slight negative cashflow since it would be a strong equity position for us if we hold it. 

May negative cashflow until fixed.3) Buy established business: assuming you mean something other than real estate related.

Hi KyleThe way most real estate for sale is priced these days there’s little to no cash flow after debt service with 25% down - borrowing a down payment would put the investor in a negative monthly position. 

@Makani Donaldson it all depends on your investment goals.If you buy a Class A rental, it'll usually have negative cashflow, which will be hopefully offset with appreciation and better tenants.If you buy a CLass C or D rental, it should have pretty good cashflow because you may not realize much in appreciation and you'll have a lot more problems finding good tenants.

Airbnb has many negative connotations. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Instead of inspiring confidence, they overwhelm the seller with negativity.

Most replies seem to be to negative factors which is why I go by the value I can see and use today because tomorrow it could be bad like a land fill...or it could be something the blows the value up.
