You're not only losing money from cash flow(-), but you're losing potential profits from an investment that wasn't taking away your profits...and your seed money at the same time.Those profitable returns you're losing, is (should be) exponential. 

hi everyone,my name is Antonio M. i am from NYC. i have always been very interested in starting a career in REI. i currently work for a major insurance company doing auto damage assessment in NYC. my wife and I currently own a 2 family home. i joined this site bc i want to soak up as much information as possible. my wife and I have comfortable decently paying jobs but we are a bit burdened with college loans...our current goal is to pay off all debt so we can focus all our money into purchasing cash flow producing real estate. i hope to learn much from all of you here and soon start setting up a good future for my 19month old son. if you could take a look at my first post it would be great. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/608311-newbie-have-idea-of-using-heloc-to-supercharge-my-rei-start

Tree removal, shrubs/plants, deck/patio, seed/fertilizer, mulch, driveway replace/seal and misc.The snow caught me again… I had no idea what was hiding under it and unlike the roof… meh.

I also plan to network like crazy and soak up as much knowledge as possible when working with loan closings etc. 

I'm new to the area and just trying to soak up as much info as I possibly can before I jump into anything.

Dealing with PEOPLE on a day to day basis can be very stressful and it is unfortunate when the bad seeds come along... and they do come along.

I’ve been watching videos on Max Maxwell and Mark Whitten trying to soak up as much as I can on everything they say, when I don’t understand something I watch it multiple times until I understand it.

Use that money as seed money for your new real estate investment career.  

The tenant just put duct tape over it so no water could soak into the wood below and kept on using the countertop.

If you don't want to spend the money soak the head in vinegar and water to clean any clog.
