If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

I do have positive cash flow.

Its percent of home payment to median income which has been skyrocketing over the past few years.

Hello, I have a tenant that has made partial payments in the last 3 months and I want to begin the eviction process.

A line of credit won’t commit you to a monthly payment unless you use the money, so you can avoid paying interest when it’s not in use.

The third property has a nice cash flow.I am wondering if there are steps I can take to reduce the cashflow issues of the 2 properties before obtaining another property, like pay down the mortgages or should I just save the cashflow from the third property to pay for any future expenses?

Congrats on your cash-flowing property in Chicago! 

Am i the only one that sees this as having negative cash flow (not cash flowing)?

“ cash flow returns” almost always compare horribly to a simple bank CD after you deduct for insurance, prop taxes< vacancy, capex, prop management (or your personal time.) etc etc etc.
