There are just as many negative reviews as there are positive.  

Started looking into tax implications and yeah 6% kills all cash flow we were hoping to get and would have us in negative cash flow (-$221/m to be exact).

Zero negative return.

Service disruptions can understandably lead to frustration.From my perspective in the self-directed IRA industry, effective communication and responsiveness during transitions are crucial to maintaining client trust.

Additionally, the fact you might be negative cash flow in Texas will give you more flexibility by renting in Portland.  

I wouldn't consider it a heavy negative unless the street is super tight and parking is hard to come by or if the street is very steep/busy.The more desirable dense city neighborhoods it's almost kind of expected and off street parking would be considered a luxury rather than a necessity.If you get out into the suburbs I would say it's more of a big deal since more rentals have off street parking or a garage there.

I agree that working with people is easier and more cost effective than the alternative.As I read this, I'm considering creating a Cash For Keys written program that I can give my tenants at lease signing to remind them to come to me rather than just stop paying. 

@Arun Maheshwari Richmond and Rosenburg have effectively become immediate suburbs of Houston with the continued sprawl.

@Jordyn Ohsnot enough info to helpbut if you're using a HELOC for the down payment AND getting a loan, then you're probably negative cash flow given that's 100% leveragei would never do that unless i were going to refinance in the short term

We understand that not every negative item we dispute will come off.We persist until we succeed because you must have a high-level of doggedness as a real estate entrepreneur.We understand there will be sunk costs and time being wasted.
