The house was offered "AS-IS" and we're buying with cash.After the AO, it was disclosed to us that a "Paper-Road" runs through the property and is the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain this parcel, which is about 25 feet worth of side yard.  

If you read old news papers you'll often see what pundits cause signs of either slow down or the market being overhead before the market takes off further.  

Does it or will it have a positive cash flow on paper?  

However your gains on rental income and paper gains of appreciation are not guaranteed every year.  

Just had someone call me from an ad I had in the paper.

@David Dye those are excellent paper returns.  

Do you mine sharing the program for the rehab layouts?

On paper it looks like I could essentially replace my income when I get to two dozen rentals cash flowing a few hundred dollars a month.

Not knowing the layout is it possible to run each furnaces & a/c on separate utilities.Give 2 of the apartments each a fce & a/c unit then look at mini splits for the other (upper) units.

It generally has a 6  month or more seasoning requirement on deposit as well as provide sourcing of the funds with a paper trail.
