So usually, it's around 10-12 decent leads weekly from 3000-4000k of contacts we run. 

When I do it at 20% down, I can only find negative cashflow, so I could be looking in the wrong spot, or I need to put more down, or I am missing something all together.I have read that making a 8% return or higher is what to look for, and I can find break even.

Perhaps he runs negative cash flow while repaying the purchase loan or there is something I missed so my math didn't add up properly.  

As the investor gains experience, they are not only able to more successfully foresee the “bumps” along the way, able to handle recessions, temporary negative cash flow, unforeseen capital expenditures without panicking, but will also recognize the opportunities necessary to turn a loss into a break even.

You are not even scooping your initial investment so your cash on cash return is negative.

If you’re leading it to a company be sure to have in your lease explicit information about who is responsible for what in terms of maintenance.

The PM company is starting to kick a little better lately but we had a rough 2024.Always remember that every positive and negative experience when taken well is an opportunity to grow as a person and to learn something valuable. 

Quote from @MIchael McCUe: Money isn't easy to save and $10,000( my debts) is a ton of money I want to save for a downpayment, I'm just starting so I don't have any money I would like to save $60,000 to buy a rental property, I think I could do it in  5-6 years, my brother filed bankruptcy and they relieved him of $6000 in debt from cash money.a list of my debtGst Hst Tax 4500 income tax from working with my dad I oweScotiabank credit card 1400Canadian Tire credit card 500cash money loan 2400Belair 600echelon 600should I pay the 10k back in the next while or should I file bankruptcy like my brother as It won't be for years until I am able to get a downpayment for a rental house anyway.Here are the negative consequences, in regard to real estate, of filing bankruptcy1.

But for the most part the meetings are lead by local investors with nothing to sell.  

Hi, Anthony, yes, I have had a lot of trouble with DM returning incorrect data - wrong owner or owner not found, wrong or no mailing address, very few sale dates, and now when I filter on lead status, it does not return all leads with that status.
