I am now just learning about the BOI form.

Thanks for help, not just for me but to all others you have taken the time in responding to their questions!

I tend to agree, in this uncertain investing environment it makes sense, it just feels weird to have that much cash not working for me. 

Long distance investing/managing is an obvious for me since I move every couple years, but I retire from the Navy in 5-7 years, and I'll finally settle in one place. 

It may or may not be a great fit for others, but it has been good for me so far as a new investor.Brian Sarvis

It is why postive cashflow is important.More to the point on cashflow, I'm saying that properties that cashflow only enough to pay for the PITI payment don't sound like strong investments (for me at this moment**) if what it would require is substantial cash reserves (which I dont have because im just getting in).

I’m definitely working hard to create a solid foundation for both my family and my investments, and it’s encouraging to connect with like-minded people who are exploring real estate as well.You’re absolutely right about Section 8 housing, the stability of cash flow is definitely a big draw for me, especially with the U.S. market being more accessible in terms of affordability compared to Canada.

Just like how Johnson & Johnson or Coca-Cola send you quarterly dividend checks, your tenants are sending you monthly "dividends" in the form of rent.

Just not for me. 

Hi All,I'm reading through the latest version of the BP Residential Lease Form and it contains a clause that seems to say that a jury cannot hear a trial related to a dispute between landlord and tenant.
