Jim K, yours takes the cake. 

I am hoping to get a monthly flat rate and reasonable fees if the notes incur late fees or a balloon payment penalty.Thank youHave looked into fci in Anaheim Hills. 

I have bought other properties on my own in other markets and the property I bought with MI is cake compared the attention my other properties demand.  

And if you’re in an appreciating market, icing on the cake as far as future property value.  

I do understand that depreciation and building equity are also factors, but we are trying to focus on cash flow only, leaving the rest to be (hopefully) icing on the cake.

You can't count on something you can't control so appreciation should be icing on the cake.

I have already done a few things that I feel should have been on them (for example the oven heating element burned out because it was so caked with food and crap that it created a hot-spot that burned through and I replaced it for them), but I felt the fridge lever was specifically damaged/broken by them. 

It seems to me that yellow cards work best- but hey, I've sent out the white cards and they pulled well also- but seriously I tried many methods in marketing, but direct marketing takes the cake- oh yeah I used clickbank.com and bought the list of absentee owners from listsource.com- if you agree, don't,or wanna share experiences lets do it- :cool:

But, tax reduction will be the icing on the cake of 1) doing something business wise that is enjoyable.

Down payment requirement jumps to 25% - 30% and the frosting on the cake, the 6-12 months of reserve cash to make payments on mortgage, tax and insurance.
