At the top of the landlord forum, there will be a sticky thread that covers the 50% rule of estimating expenses over the long term.

It depends on what numbers you consider to be a "Bad investment" I personally wouldn't buy a 1/1 condo due to the HOA and the fact that tenants usually arent as sticky with 1/1's if they have a family they need to increase their bedroom counts. 

About six years ago we did the whole rice and beans thing for a year and paid off "everything but the house" and it was one of the best things we ever did.

@Jon Quigley  you don't need a coupon to make a payment.. just send your check in with the account number written in the memo section and or a little sticky note.

@Gregory Rice,I am shock at your post that you don't want your tenants know who they are renting from but you want the nine yard on your tenants.

As some have mentioned, transferring a property from a person to an LLC after the fact can have some sticky consequences.

@Account Closed i always read that prices are sticky on the way down

@Logan Causey An old real estate adage is “ prices are sticky on the way down.”

Well, if you wanted to purchase a commercial property using a bank loan and rent it to either a MM dispensary or I-502 retailer, you would be putting yourself in a sticky situation.

That is why I wish there was a Sticky Note on here for New Investors to post posts like mine (and maybe there is and I just don’t know it) that tells them to Read This First before Investing!!!
