Whats funny is 20 years ago my net worth was negative and I would eat out all the time, now I have a few bucks in my pocket and I cannot remember the last time we went out to eat that was not a special occassion. :) .  

The goal is not to evict but to get them to pay but you need to protect yourself and sometimes tenants need negative reinforcement.

If you have positive cash flow, and  you use your own cash to pay off the property, you are adding to your cost.If you have negative cash flow, the negative comes out of your pocket and adds to your cost.If you try to change negative CF to positive by adding to the down payment, thinking the lower mortgage payment will change the negative to positive CF, you are only paying the negative CF upfront,...and still adding to your cost of the property.Profit starts AFTER you have recovered your cost (cash) in the form you paid for it (cash flow). 

I can imagine it going the other direction really quickly if you get "negative" section 8 tenants and a poor Housing Authority. 

The numbers provided are cash-flow negative so that doesn't help.

I just completed my first rehab deal, and I still cashflow, but I can't afford property management without basically negating the rest.

I also don't know if this is creating such a large cost, that it puts us more in the negative and makes it not worth it. 

Most of the BP posts are negative on Syndications for very minor LP investor and GP knowledge.  

Recent purchases are almost universally cash flow negative.  

For me if someone has a negative review I typically consider something else, if its positive then I would continue to do my own research but do not really go off of others.
