The service call on a used appliance would negate any money saved. 

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.

IE if you were to be "negative" you could be thrown out which is a pretty stiff penalty given the costs. 

I only had 25k in savings. lol.

Looking for success stories or other experiences , positive or negative, range of costs, etc.

Quote from @Christina Hall: Sorry I only read a fraction of what you just posted … bc damn … lots of unnecessary commentary But I do understand Search volume managing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in google ad spend and seo for major organizations If the volume isn’t high enough than you aren’t going to get meaningful traffic to drive conversionsIf there are 20 people searching per month and 10 convert and they are qualified and that’s all you need then great But the fact that you are screenshotting hundreds of form submissions is suspect and misleading to those who don’t understand hence the reason why I’d love too see your GA Good luck out there Humor me for a second.You come to the forums asking for help on lead generation because obviously, you are not very good at it, hence asking for help.

@Lourdes Caballero  I agree with you wholeheartedly that negativity does no one any good. 

It's a balance of cashflow and wealth accumulation.One of the goals is to have tenants pay as much of your cost-of-ownership as possible (loans, taxes, insurance, etc.)In high-cost areas, any Class A or B property you buy will usually negative cashflow for the first 3-5 years, until rents rise enough to cover the negative cashflow + rising taxes & insurance.Investing OOS increases your risks because you may not know the market and you can't check on everything/everyone all the time.If you move forward with your buddies, HIGHLY recommend creating a solid Partnership Agreement!

.- in this higher rate market, i find BRRRRs to be challenging because after a high LTV refinance the units have negative cash flow.
