For me, I'm always trying to find the negative in a property to talk myself out of it.

Swyftfilings.com lost its accreditation earlier this year and isn't rated but of the 7 or so reviews only 2 are negative.

I would add that if your plan is to eventually turn into a rental like you would with your current place, then a pool is a negative, not a plus.

These neighborhoods tend to have zero appreciation at best and at worst negative appreciation after accounting for inflation, and you still don't control that but you sure as heck should care because you are then loosing purchasing power every year.

Extremely negative.

I heard on a recent podcast that you can easily pull real estate statistics for your target market through REA (I'm not even sure this acronym is correct)?

It sounds like you've given them too many chances to redeem themselves and now they know that they can push the envelope without suffering any negative consequences.  

Account Closed, sounds like you got a negative cash flow no equity deal.

Not only do you make more when you immediately call tradesmen at $100/min, you have a negative incentive to save us money by asking simple questions.  

Equity value through DP and appreciation will put you deep into negative cash flow.Find a multi unit that will be lower risk having multiple tenants.
