I would assume that management is definitely a con but the cash flow can be so much better depending on where you invest.

Hey Winston, I recommend starting with a turnkey cash flow rental.

PS is as good as anyone at cleaning their data.  

I wanted to make sure it was an unreasonable loss of the huge (to me) cash flow I had gained by working over 3,000 hours a year in the construction sphere.

I have a town home that cash flows $600 a month at an interest rate of 3% ($250k left on the loan).

Once it was cleaned out you could see how much beauty this home had and we knew exactly how to capitlize on it.

Outside/decorative curtain, no if it still looks clean, since it is not in contact with water. 

Two I could rent out for 600 each per month and one I could get 700.Another option would be to rent the house out to a family through a property management company and just let it cash flow. 

It is becoming harder and harder to cash flow with property management companies in this area.

However, I am more getting at can I use the BiggerPockets rental calculator to determine monthly cash flow and CoC ROI, i.e., is that the most appropriate use for that tool.
