If you could stomach the negative cashflow or get creative holding is not bad.

Let’s project realistic expense estimates via the 50% rule:$12k rent / 2 (50% rule) - $19332 P&i = negative $13332/year or negative $1,111/month.  

I have some who invest for negative cash-flow.

Unless you are doing a serious amount of volume , both from a cost and performance aspect, it will make more sense to outsource.

Its the best way for anyone to get started IMO.Will add that in todays market you might need to put down more than the minimum 3.5-5% in order to not be cash flow negative.

But then again, some people dislike that aspect of me 😊

While the specifics aren’t fully transparent, consistent negative feedback could impact a listing's visibility.

It’s hard to find a lot of negative reviews as they’ve gotten Reddit threads removed and pour in fake reviews on sites from employees, family members etc. it’s not that hard to do a quick google search and see.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Need to look at the other aspects to show the way.
