In all seriousness, I posted this because people should realize, there is smart leverage and bad leverage.

We can't treat good tenants differently or raise some and not others. 

I am looking to buy and hold long term so lower cash flow is not all that bad.  

It's about finding the right opportunities, which are rare but not impossible.It’s not inherently a bad model, just one that requires careful execution.Have a good weekend!

Here's a breakdown of some key things to consider, particularly in a market like Gallatin County (which has been booming):1. 5% Cash-on-Cash Return (COC)While a 5% COC return is on the lower end for some investors, it’s not bad for a first deal, especially in a high-demand area like Gallatin County.

But it does get easier to decipher the good from the bad and the helpful from the unhelpful.  

This could trigger the due-on-sale clause, allowing the lender to call the loan, though some lenders might not act on it.You can still claim tax benefits like depreciation since a single-member LLC is treated as if you personally own the property for tax purposes.

The erosion of our rights is always bad policy.

Im looking at properties to buy, and saw a tenant in a 4-unit property I like paid $1,000 in late fees. They are also smokers and their unit is horrid. They are month to month. What are common practices to remove...

Treating this child like we treat everyone, as we hand the document to sign: "And this is the no smoking addendum, just be aware, dont allow anyone on the property to smoke here, inside or outside, its impossible to get the smell out of the house" How would you approach this?
