When that tenant becomes an issue (and if they're not paying rent, they will become an issue) he can then simply tell the tenant that he's going to file eviction papers if they don't move voluntarily.  

He is "over cautious", that simply means he does not really know what he is doing.

That means there is not really an effect on the debt to income ratio neither positive (income) or negative (loss) but rather simply making that payment  non issue. 

I’d love to connect with anyone willing to share a little bit about their investing journey and its challenges, or someone who is simply looking to connect.

Unfortunately, Uncle Sam always wants his cut ;)

Most amounts are too small for the hassle, and again, that becomes litigation, not simply an audit.Creative finance buyers, I do not believe it's a winning argument to the IRS to say that you bought the property, didn't make the payments and you took the write offs anyway.

While $50/month in cash flow isn’t great, it’s still positive, and cutting the termite protection could boost it to $125.

And they take a cut along the entire way - they sell you the house that they have rehabbed and are selling at appraisal value - (making commission plus flipping profits), they lease the house for you (take a management fee), they repair (take a %), when you sell (there they are taking another percentage).

Now there is clear cut law that if wholesaler does not follow the rules they cannot tie up EM or cloud title etc etc..

The term curb appeal is simply referring to the home's exterior being appealing, which doesn't have anything to do with plants or pots or items directly.
