If you intended me to take something else from that picture, such as an unfortunate motor vehicle accident, let me know.

It is much more helpful than pictures to see you aren't hiding anything.   

I am not a member in any "gurus" programs nor am I foolish enough to believe that the whole picture is provided by these gurus.

However, B2RDirect hasn’t been provide any of pictures of real buildings yet.

Starting a property management company with my brother and my dad was a mix of teamwork, trust, and family dinners doubling as business meetings.

This is an area where members can share spreadsheets, forms, documents, pictures, and more.

You anticipate that the winners provide much more profit than the losers, and you end up with a portfolio that produces a double digit return + a “salary” for your active participation over time. 

* Do you provide move in and move out reports * How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves out* Do you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your home* Do you provide monthly newsletters to your tenants* Do you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investor* Do you have single point portfolio based management services?

  $200/month divides into the $100K initial negative equals 500 months to recover the initial negative equity.Let's double the cash flow to $400/month.  250 months to recover the initial negative equity so over 20 years.Let's reduce the negative equity position to $50K (which likely is less realistic than expecting $400/month cash flow at that rent point), you are at over 10 years to recover the initial equity position.Now let's do it with all cash, no financing.The 50% rule state $900/month cash flow.  900 * 12/200K = $5.4% or about half of lifetime return of S&P 500, or what can almost be achieved with a zero work, zero risk CD.I see no way that someone who understands the numbers will call this a good investment.Note just because an investment is better than most other investments in a market does not imply something is a good investment. 

Forgive me going into details but just wanting to give you a clearer picture of our rental property townhome, which is zoned 2 family there are 4 habitable 800 square foot floors for a total of 3200 ft habitable.
