There are just as many negative reviews as there are positive.  

Well even if the rent is equal to the mortgage, you'll still be in the negative after repairs, CapEx, vacancy, etc.Why would you specifically be thinking of investing at a negative cash flow?

The PM company is starting to kick a little better lately but we had a rough 2024.Always remember that every positive and negative experience when taken well is an opportunity to grow as a person and to learn something valuable. 

This would help you get going.You might be able to make these a  little nicer and force appreciation and a little higher rent.Either way rents will go up over time and the mortgage with remain constant.Maybe even make one unit a STR which could see higher income.I'd be ok with break even or a little bit negative on a Quad given you have 4 properties in one.If you're only breaking even you still have depreciation and other tax write off to help you out.I usually make people 3 offers.

We understand that not every negative item we dispute will come off.We persist until we succeed because you must have a high-level of doggedness as a real estate entrepreneur.We understand there will be sunk costs and time being wasted.

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.

I think you've forgotten about the concept of Constructive Receipt. 

There is no such absolute rule or mandate for REI - it is up to you on your comfort level with your cash flow versus total investment versus appreciation potential.If I followed that rule, I would have missed out on a LOT of great opportunities over the years.We bought a house in Jones Valley in 2017 with negative cash flow - why? 

Moreover, the government has made it very clear that it wants to attract foreign investment and a measure like that would be totally counter-productive and downright dangerous and negative for the country and it's the economy.

Interesting concept!
