I am currently a sales manager for a commercial tree farm and have recently been consuming Kiyosaki's books like they are candy.

It should be included in the monthly management fee. 

Including monthly obligations and who will pay them, etc.

While time consuming, I did learn a lot and was within $2,000 of my initial budget.

For any commodity market, costs are passed to consumers when demand balances or outstrips supply.

This negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow to re over the negative equity position.  

I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

It’s doable, just more difficult, time consuming, with a lot more “contacts” needed for each “sale”.

So you have bad financial terms working against you along with finding properties, making deals, getting financing etc Secondly - for me it's time consuming.
