For Shark Tank they are just covering their behinds (Especially with Cuban being an Executive Producer and going through an insider trading case right now).The show does not want to take responsibility of the viewing public trying to contact the presenters and then investing, losing money, and coming back to Shark tank and suing them for the loss.Interestingly, to even appear on Shark Tank you have to give the show I think 2-3% of your company.

Homes that were built in the late 40's, 50's, 60's and even early 70's. Lots

I'd rather have tall grass then no grass at all, LOL.Like a dividend producing stock, too many landlords - IMO -just try grab the rent (ie, dividend) and neglect the appreciation (capital gain).Doesn't just apply to if/when I have to sell the property too...if you can maintain the yard, it makes it that much easier to attract tenants...curb appeal is the 1st impression whether selling a home or renting it.

Contractors don't take the risks of ownership nor the expenses or investment which put that owner in that position that produces the opportunity. :)

I hope that its producing a ton of cash flow for you.

Your managing broker will want production, it's a sales organization, if you don't produce they may ask for an office fee allowing you to hang around.I tell people to sit down and make a list of people they know personally that they could call on the phone and talk about RE.

I also started another post today about using real estate for producing income (other than the usual)

Of course I will do my research and buy a property that produces positive cash flow.

Fun fact- If you apply for a loan after showing this loss, a bank won't care that you spent the money on income producing assets.

My question though, is in using a HML if I wanted to purchase a property and keep it as a Rental to produce and generate monthly Cash Flow.
