Assuming this is correct, how are investors able to get decent cash flow out of a rental?

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I could try to help you sell it if you're interested. 

@McKinly SpringerThis did not bond as they didn’t prep the floor properly nor was this done properlyIt does not appear they even used a self leveling material like ardexTo me this appears all of it needs to be ripped out and redone properly

Happy to answer any questions you may have starting out with this process. 

Some places I am looking at include Flagstaff, Pigeon Forge, and Las Vegas.I am hoping to use this site to build connections in those areas to get "boots on the ground" information and support to find the best location.Thank you all for replying to my post.

I can't connect you with IRA/401k lenders, but certainly you can educate folks on this concept.

I don’t know if this is posted in the right area, please let me know if I should post this elsewhere or if other actions are needed. 

Other than that, this is a non-issue.

Is this true?

Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing.
