Cash flow is KING in the rental business and having even millions of dollars in appreciation won't buy you so much as a diet coke.

For example I live in King County in Washington.

They're still driving king cab, dually pick up trucks to the grocery store (although not as many people are buying them) and while starbucks sales/profits are down I still see folks in there putting the lattes on credit cards.Another thing that makes me an optimist (about finding deals that is) is that I know that even in good times some people get in trouble.

The “As-is” part of the sale wouldn’t require major expense up front and the value could get back up there with a little TLC, which quite frankly, I would be looking forward to.I realize cash is king and if I had it, I would make the deal and buy the house.

They are about to enter the summer season, and although they aren't a strictly seasonal company like, say, smoothie king, I believe they do have some lower sales during summer months (I mean, who wants a hot coffee in the hot summer weather?).

You obviously didn't do your research about 7-Eleven my man... 7-Eleven isn't like a McDonalds or Burger King my man...

You should definitely read some posts by MikeOh he's the king of rental property around here and he's definitely got the recipe to make it profitable!

For this same reason we don't build using cubits anymore or price the weight of goods based on how much is held in the king's hand.

We all know Bud is the king of beers and rules beer sales here in the USA.
