There's a variety of scenarios that support a negative or neutral cash flow for the first year. 

So, I would call it a neutral experience.  

I always use neutral colors and most owners will change it after they are in it awhile. 

asking others that are competition usually brings negative feedbackI would start with a Neutral PM in the area.. you may get better feedbackas they are your lifeline .. and the one's your married to once you close on a prop

Account Closed  what you Don't understand is the deal is NOT done until its recorded. the Lawyer is a closing attorney and is neutral and has to take orders from both sides if one side says hey don't record I want to renegotiate then he or she is obligated to follow that order..Any one who recommends taking a lawyer to court absolutely  does not understand the legal profession or real estate transactions..

.:) While I have some ideas in mind of other property types that I’d like to rip on equally hard I thought that today I’d pick something a bit more neutral.

If the market is so hot that I can't find a deal that nets cash flow, would you buy a cash neutral property, or just pay the capital gains tax and depreciation recapture??

For a friend who was trying to sell his land that had an old business on it I caught all of them which is why the developer wanted to bring me on for assembling the other land parcels.Even if some earnest money is non-refundable and it stipulates that in the contract make sure that either your attorney is holding the EM or a neutral title,escrow, or attorney is holding.

The box is there the power is there, you may have to get a neutral wire and your done.

Once you are sure that you and your partner are in the real estate game for the long haul, then you may want to establish a business entity.As far as taxes are concerned, the partnership LLC and the S-corp LLC are both pass through entities and pass through entities tend to be tax neutral.
