Of course, threatening with BBB complaints, negative online reviews, etc. is good ammunition as well. 

I just try to poke holes in peoples' plans so they can see all the ways things might not work out. it's not to be negative, just trying to temper over confidence you're doing the right thing and on track, keep learning and don't be impatient. real estate is very forgiving so a few lousy deals won't leave you in ruin but they can make you broke and miserable LOL 

At least they help bring my total rental income to a negative number every year.

It doesn't help that glyphosate really does work like magic where it's used in the public eye, a solution to clearing residential weeds with minimal proven short and long-term negatives, too, far safer for children and pets than anything else ever used.

Instead of being so negative why don't you just ask me for help dude.

@5% - another $200/monthMortgage for $350K @6%/30 years - $2100/monthTaxes+insurance = $400/month We are at $3400/month payments only.There will be repairs, maintenance, vacancies - where YOU pay $3400 per month, not the Tenants.So, out of your $500K you bought 3 properties and there is no cash flow of rented for $3400/month each but negative cash flow if rented less than that.The leftover of $20K will be your reserves, you’ll have to use pretty soon.The purpose of that all?

It is fine running one house slightly negative if you can purchase others that are producing full rent with the mortgage you gained from the first.

You have to be careful about maxing out credit cards as well though as it can negatively affect your credit.
