The key to winning in CA is time and patience.

And let me tell you that, if you want to have the chance to win in a Mexican court of law against a Mexican national, you better have yourself a good lawyer.

Not necessarily the most comfortable option for everyone but that can be one way to financially win at renting.

I think Buildium is winning for me at the moment!

Now on year one you will have 100k minus your investment: say $25k so $75k but on year 2: you will have your original $75k plus $50k annual income year : 3: 75k + 50k (from year 2) and $75k from year 3 : total $200k ;) Now you are putting yourself in a position to win. so...9th: create a business plan and focus10th: Know your BIG WHY and executeAll of this could be done in 6 months - maybe a year... whats the rush?

If not, it's still a win if it cash flows well.

Everything has a certain degree of risk.The difference is the millionaires and billionaires take the most calculated risks possible and win more times than they lose.You cannot eliminate the risk only make it smaller.I agree on cash flow.Never pay based on POTENTIAL or PROJECTIONS.I can show you many developers that lost their shirts because they predicted x,y,z would happen when they built out their projects.In appreciation games it's a crap shoot.Some win and many you never hear about lose.Nobody wants to brag when they lose everything yet those are some of the most valuable stories to tell.I would also say with cash flow to watch out for CURRENT NUMBERS.

We can go to court, where I will eventually win and, you will find all of your belongings laying on the curb.

Explain that you need to protect yourself from having the property come open this winter and that the $200 decrease is a win win for both of you.

You would need to discuss this with an attorney who specializes in that kind of case, but I have seen several win that surprised me.
