This implies mls purchases have initial negative cash flow that is about the same as the rent

I like BP so my comments are not intended as an attack, but for you to imply these additional features were added without expected profit is disingenuous.  

.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  As implied by this Post I am worried that my current loan structure is subpar to what I should be shooting for.  

This implies residential units can be built at lower costs and provide better return. 11) adding an ADU to SFH can make the SFH fall under rent control.Good luck 

Does this imply that it is a poor investment?  

If / when it becomes common for sellers to not pay then buyers will be bent over the barrel and I foresee more lawsuits regarding representation or implied agency ahead.  

There will be other investors like yourself as well as Donna Bauers, Eddie Speed and trainers and speakers.http://www.noteworthyusa.com/convention/I went last year and met a lot of folks and had the opportunity to listen to several of the speakers in person instead of on a webinar.Good luck!

But I did implied during an in person conversation, that they'd get their security deposit back, if the apartment was left in good condition.

@Jodi Adams I see it is your first post so welcome to BP.I am not sure there is a legitimate tax sale trainer that is a national player.

What this implies is the average San Diego purchase has huge negative cash flow at acquisition.My opinion is it is likely going to take more than 3 years for a high LTV home purchase to have positive cash flow.
