There is a lot of garbage out there in the real estate education world.

TERM by its self is garbage! 

Just make it a mortgage worth paying down, especially if you are going to go through all this garbage.

I am not sure if the new one's today are better but the ones from 6yrs ago are garbage. 

I realize the cleanup alone of all the garbage/vehicles in the backyard alone will likely be ~$6k (or more). 

Pretty common around here for landlord to pay water/ garbage (unless you have like side by side duplex or town house style multi fam).

, which will come to $320 / year.Also, the owner must pay for the garbage, which is $400/year.Just these expenses add up to $6k to 7k / year, which eats up most of the 800/month (10k/year) of cash flow.You understand now why positive cash flow is a dream in the bay area...Cheers,- Ivan

That's how stagnant this garbage state is.

I have found the JUNK pays very well for a hands off model..It warms my heart whenever I see people talk about buying garbage properties.So many people get obsessed with buying a "Nice house" in a "Nice area".

I was thinking about that last night while grumbling about how difficult it is to find an off market deal, priced accurately, and how many garbage deals one has to wade through to find anything decent.
