Paint it a dark neutral color. 

:shock: So investing in Australia is, of necessity, almost exclusively focused on anticipated appreciation.Many would say that yields are now unsustainably low and our market is set for a correction (and I agree), but even looking back over the past 40 years, our mainstream market has never been cashflow positive; the best it's done is come close to being neutral.

Even IF you have to bribe your tenants.short counters like that,you can usually find some miscuts,or blems for cheap.Paint everything inside a nice neutral color,,even if it looks perfect now.

Most high quality latex paint is rated to handle 35 degrees.....I would make sure to use a neutral color.

But if you are cash neutral or better historically the appreciation has been excellent.

I also noticed that my properties that started of as neutral cash flow in better areas caught up to my pure cash flow properties in just a few years.Now I've selected a market that I expect to have strong rent growth and appreciation in the long run.

Get educated, but look for neutral sources instead of people selling insurance.

The money would be held by a trustworthy third party (perhaps a title company or bank) and distributed after draw inspections conducted by a neutral third party (possibly a licensed home inspector).  

Well, it's the money that would otherwise go towards mortgage payments that they're no longer making, without fear of being foreclosed on, at least for the time being.And as long as consumers are stuck in neutral, businesses will be, too.

My lenders will look at the positive cash flow as income on all properties held (not including the one being purchased/refinanced) as income though, and the debt as being neutral in the DTI ratio.I also never said that they will give the same REI loans to infinity.
