One negative thing about me that has been a negative my whole life is that I'm an annoyingly optimistic happy people person.

It sounds above the boards and I haven't found anything negative.

I have read opinions in both the negative and positive. 

If you don't have many right now, a negative could be a big hit so refund it

The downside here being the unit is on a busy two-way road, close to two major junctions where commuters regularly drive through on their way to manhattan.Assuming the most conservative rental numbers and the worst-case capex expenses, I'd be at a 5% cap rate and a negative cash flow of around $ - 500/month at this price.

Of course, the goal is not negativity it is simply being able to articulate the contrast.

You're treading water or making $100 per month which isn't great, but at least you're not negative (I'm always astounded--and a bit scared--by how many beginners say they're negative cashflow).A few thoughts:If you end up keeping this property, I'd be trying to get out of the ARM asap--that to me is a ticking time bomb.
