Despite all the negativity people still want to live in CA.

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

Perhaps he runs negative cash flow while repaying the purchase loan or there is something I missed so my math didn't add up properly.  

The one who bragged about buying houses with negative equity, cause he was buying sub2. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/1190869-im-bu...Okay, wasn’t following prior threads.It seems like there were a few ways around this.1.

Which of course is actually a negative for participating in speculative madness. 

At least 3 of the reviewers from 10 years ago posted once only ever, which seems to point to them being asked by Incite/Matt Scott to counter the negative review.

I predict that the guys who are fully leveraged and cash flowing $100 per month will be motivated sellers when the next big correction happens.actually its either them or they walk and its their lenders selling that is what happened in that time period.. and was pronounced in certain markets.for me personally  I don't want to risk  my credit and finances and borrow 75k to make 1200 a year... or even 2400 a year if its a market that has a history of no appreciation and I don't feel there is going to be any significant appreciation.. 2 to 3% a year does not cut it.but I will take 500 a month negative or 10k a month negative if I think there are huge gains at the other end.. 

Now his original property is less cash flow, and is his 2nd is likely negative $500/mo.

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.

The concept of "EARN" is gone in these hearts and minds.
