If we eliminated property taxes houses would appreciate (although the ancillary consequences of eliminating property taxes may have a greater negative impact on property values) because people could afford to pay more for the house. 

It is basically a natural plant growing, so don't think it would have any negative effect on the condition of a home.

If they don't make sense, you must know how will you subsidize the negative cashflow?

Not trying to be negative but for someone who has been in the game for a few years now, I would not buy at this price if it needed that much work.

However, it can turn negative in a hurry shouldA.

With negative cashflow, I wouldn’t bank on appreciation.

Hello,I have a long-distance rental home that is NOT in a good location and is worth less than my mortgage balance of $60,000. My listing agent suggested two options:1. Sell it to the investor for a bit below $40,000 ...

If I pulled out 70% of the ARV, the 2% rule is shot and I'm negative cash flow.

It may sound like a negative but hang tight.

The margins are a little tighter but there should be no way your coming up negative.
