I currently work as a bartender/server at The Melting Pot in downtown Spokane, WA.

Spreading out your investments (a bit) is better than having ALL your properties in one pot.

The answer:  Stay in the game.If you continue to hold a property that is taking your cash (negative cash flow), you will be out of the game just as fast as if you were to keep putting chips in the pot of a really bad hand.You haven't lost any money when you lose hands in poker, just like you haven't lost any money when you have negative cash flow...as long as you still have money left, and you get out of those bad "deals". 

Always looking to build that bench of trades men

I wonder if any BP users use Bench.

As a buyer, you don't pay any commissions so why not add some bench strength to your search and have a realtor - one who works with investors - be part of your resource team.

The rate is slightly higher because it is a top to bottom clean in a narrow window of time.VRBO- Takes a cut of every rental 3%You also need to outfit the home for someone to live in, which means the upfront cost is higher as you need everything someone living there would have (furniture, pots, pans, plungers, etc).

In my area all the local judges know the apartments association lease when it comes across their bench so it really helps for me in court room situations .

Ever heard the old adage, a watched pot never boils? 

Don't even consider bringing up your old pots and pans to your VHR.
