If you look at the data, in the last 5 recessions, home prices rose in 3, was basically neutral in 1 (~1.5% decline), and we all know about 2008. 

What I had indicated was to achieve cash flow neutral when including the equity paydown. 

@Kat N.Having your property in an LLC or not does not change anything regarding depreciation or expenses deduction.It is usually tax neutral unless you add a property management Corp in the mix that can give you some more creative tax optimization strategies regarding fringe benefit, retirement and some other expenses that you would had problem deducting in your disregarded LLC.

The earnest money should go to a neutral 3rd party.

The pee is so acidic (and liquid) that it can seep into the joists or slab and there is no amount of neutralizer that will get it out.

As an alternative, you could always seek non-recourse financing for the Roth from a neutral third party.

There are many issues covered in a lease that a lawyer is neutral on.

The tenant could of loosened the neutral or double tapped a neutral causing the problem but its not the load.

A neutral third party- possibly an attorney. 

It's not what I would choose for my home, but it will neutralize the problem.
