Its no good to harbor negative energy.

In many cases they can hurt Your chances of having negative info removed, because improper handling of a dispute in the first place.

I have seen several investment properties (ie duplex) with NEGATIVE CASH FLOW at full retail price because the agent had no idea what they were doing.This isn't an attack on agents as I am licensed myself, but people should stick to their niche.

The worse case scenarios, though statistically rare, would be failure of a fixture, cabinet, or appliance causing injury to a tenant or extensive damage (ie. fire ) to the property.

My concern is that demand will continue to dwindle or that the appreciation will go under zero into negative.

I’m looking to focus on buy and hold SFHs rentals using a property manager, but would also be interested in teaming up with investors in some of my targeted markets below on quicker deals to build up some capital as I go.After going through some forum posts here, it looks like several markets have their positives and negatives, with places like Indy and KC being solid for cash flow (my main goal) but low on appreciation (not my primary goal anyway), whereas places in Texas are typically lower cash flowing, but higher on the appreciation front.

Do you have the resources to handle the negative cash flow?

That's not accounting for any debt carry, management fees, maintenance, vacancy, liability, litigation, etc, etc....A negative cash flow multi family rental property is straight up indentured servitude.

I have found a number of negative reviews on the company.

The house I bought as my primary residence would negatively cash flow if I rented it out fully.
