That was some time ago and opinions do change but last I had heard it was positive.

In the middle of a lawsuit with a 2nd position lien. 

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

What does a cash positive investment mean to you? 

has anyone had positive/negative results in dealing with a company called 212 Loans?

This creates a negative initial position.

Jackson County TDR is working hard to position our area as a year-round destination, and it is catching on, but I wouldn't count on significant, year-round cash flow from a vacation rental here.

I think real estate is very forgiving (1) over the LONG term and (2) if you're well capitalized / in a strong financial position. 

Those positions are hard to come by but if you can find one and get your green card, you're set!
