So when viewed this way, I’m not disappointed when the Pref is not hit. 

Because the owner was disappointed with her whole situation and was almost given up, I was able to tell her that she can end up with some money and it would not cost her a dime.

It's a disappointing tactic that takes advantage of people's trust and eagerness to learn.So, how can you avoid falling into the trap of paying for information that's readily available for free?

Even though we were disappointed that the rehab was not complete, we thought, the rental guarantee will offset the construction delay.

I think the thought of rental real estate as passive has led many an investor down rabbit hole and disappointing a majority that thought it was going to be nothing more than clipping coupons.

More than four months rent were lost between missed rent payments and legal fees to evict the tenant.The next tenant was much better, but had frequent complaints regarding legitimate problems: -bathroom sink hot water knob that didn't work -rat urine smell coming from the vents -water leakage from the toilet(I understand that problems occur, particularly with properties of this age, but it was surprising/disappointing considering I paid Ohio Cashflow $64.9k for a property they bought for almost half the price, then, even after having done improvements, still required frequent repairs.)3) Property appreciation I bought the property for $64,900 and sold it for $48,5000.

@Michael Baum You won't be disappointed, I am so happy with that site, makes my direct bookings so easy.

i used to live in the DC area and still own a property in Arlington.i know the numbers on paper look great in a place like Huntsville, but we see a lot of folks in the forums in markets like DC or CA, who buy a random property in AL or OH or KS, and then immediately struggle because they didn't vet it properly, or didn't realize it wasn't in as great a neighborhood as they thought, or even buy an OK property, but then make $32.50 a month in 'cash flow,' and are disappointed in their return.so, i know you asked about huntsville, but i'd encourage you to think about picking a suburb or exurb of DC and really invest some time in it - maybe hagerstown or fredericksburg or winchester, or any place you're interested in within 2 hours with a lower price point than DC.

She's also so disappointed with responses on here she cancelled her BP account for good.CONGRATULATIONS to all the condescending agents that belittled her enough to feel that way.
