Adios...I don't believe is suing.. so, I will most likely just eat those cost of those materials..  

Like Andrew mentioned we cant charge a application fee in the state of mass so we eat the background/credit check fee but that's just a cost of doing business in our lovely state. 

W/S/G are probably all your responsibility, and can easily eat up a $100+ a month.

a 30-40% increase wouldn't be so terrible that it eats up all my cash flow, but it does decrease the returns a bit, but the property would still be performing.

Intrinsic benefits might be your ability to use a property as additional collateral in another transaction, it might be some community benefit that makes you a hero in your community, good will, or generating other business opportunities.A good investment is one that doesn't cost much to get into, doesn't present headaches, that cash flows to pay for itself, doesn't eat any hay, and appreciates in value!

Great point Kyle J; quality tenants are obviously great, just a bit concerned that more requests might come down the pipe and start eating into our baby cash flow. 

All of these can eat into what seem like thin margins to me. 

Flipping is very time consuming and in the end, it becomes a job that can eat up a lot of your time. 

The seller will have some closing costs that will eat away at the $6K.

While flippers can usually rehab their property before the interest rates eat into the overall bottom-line, the property may take many more months to sell if the market turns and the profit disappears.
