The cash flow will come as rents increase but year one or two - the reality is break even to small positive cash flow with 25% or 30% down.Hopefully there are some investors from the Midwest that can chime in.I’m a Sunbelt investor but the Midwest is solid - nothing is inexpensive anywhere and if it is the area is a dead end podunk market - I think you will have greater success looking in the cities I suggest.I would also encourage to get on a plane and go to a few of these other markets and see what you think.

While it is frustrating when others don't think the same way we do, or understand the business side of this for us as landlords, we should at least recognize that she has done nothing but agree with everyone's statements that she owes and needs to pay, no need to beat a dead horse.

He was dead set against replacing it as it was up high on the hub where nothing was likely to get caught and cause a blockage.

After all other expences the likley hood will be that th eproperty itself is negative cash flow if there is much dead equity.To be a cash investor you must accept that money has little to no value and live with minimum ROI.

Now it's dead, with a forum post asking why it's so dead!

I've been looking at Klamath Falls for a few months now and while the properties there are fairly cheap and rents okay @Marco G. is correct that the place is pretty dead.
