I will cash buy as I don’t really like their financing and don’t want to deal with currency fluctuations causing my payment to change month to month. 

As mortgage rates eventually drop, your cash flow should improve over the long term.

The barrier is the additional complexity - now you are operating two sets of books, and filing two tax returns, and have more operating agreements, more state registrations, etc, need to manage cash better, need to keep in constant mind that your rents need to be a supportable FMV, which may require getting third party certification on your rents so that in the event of an IRS audit, what you have done is supported.In short...the size of the project, and the taxable income, need to be of enough scope to make all the additional costs and annoyances worth it. 

Homeowners that are on any kind of list (pre-foreclosure, absentee, divorce, tax etc). receive 10-20 mailings a month and triple the amount of calls (if the number is listed).

They didn't have access to BiggerPockets where they could learn how to calculate cash-on-cash, ROI, ROE, or print reports with colorful charts and graphs.Earn money.

Do you have access to the paid version of airdna to find comparable properties that are cash flowing at 500-650 a night?
