The neighborhood is going down hill, crime is up, those you do rent to have a hard time paying, the place gets more damage, vacancy goes up, you get citations from the city, 3 years later you can't rent the place.

Things usually are at the very best at first impression and go downhill from there.  

Is it coming up or going downhill?

However, many will never turn down a contract, so you may see a good contractor go downhill fast if too many people start working with him (example: he's used to doing 3 at a time, now he's doing 7, and 2 don't even get finished in time or at all).

Cash Flow:  $300Property 3:  This is where things went downhill.  

Once we found him it was all downhill from there. 

It was in it's prime about 20 years ago, it was once the go to suburban area of West Orlando to live in but after Winter Garden and the Ocoee area started to get built up and then a Wal-Mart went in over by Pine Hills it went downhill.

However it began to go downhill around 2006, we sold our properties in 2009 and took a beating financially.Location, location, location is the key.

These definitions are very poor IMO and the whole deck is stacked against the promoter in the event the deal goes downhill.

The property needed upgrades, most tenants were unemployed and home during the day, and the area was going downhill.
