While the property may not still return 20% cash on cash, it would not be losing money on a monthly cash flow basis (hopefully..)But I think that is lazy and irresponsible, especially if you own anything more than a property or two.So I generally try to run what if scenarios on each property and then subsequently run what ifs on my larger portfolio to make sure that the portfolio can weather any economic storm that may come through.I have only been in RE for a few years and didn't gain the experience from 2008 so my question to the group is what scenarios do you test or have you encountered? 

Private lending, in particular, can get key connections for subsequent RE investing.All those options present, however, present opportunity and risk - which to some extent go hand-in-hand.

@Orion Deaton, It's a powerful tool that allows you to sell investment real estate and subsequently buy investment real estate without having to pay the normal tax on the gain from the sale.  

Subsequently the buyers who lose will then file complaints with the real estate commission who will also fine you.

No SP# and subsequently no file available to view at the courthouse.

Then you will have cash coming out your ears and subsequently be paying cash for those widwest properties. 

If a Court sees a landlord provided the tenant notice of breach, did not evict, then only did so based upon subsequent behavior, landlords have a stronger case to terminate the lease and evict. 

The rent just gets automatically transferred from the tenant's bank account to yours each subsequent month.

I have no idea what the tax code says, but I've seen people write this off on Schedule C with no subsequent audits to the best of my knowledge.

However, there was a bit of a falling out after ~85% of the work was finished, and the GC was subsequently fired.
