A deal that may look good on the surface might actually have many flaws.

Maybe it has a pink toilet and tub in the master bathroom ... maybe the work triangle in the kitchen is super long, find some flaw in the house that can be addressed slowly over time without spending a fortune (or a set of flaws, even better).  

re: You can't afford a PM.If you buy into a cash flow of $1.95 (hyperbole) then you're premise is self-evident and from what I've been seeing on BP, that tends to be a norm - - buying into anything so I have something in RE.Hopefully, after reading, reading, reading, most will soon discover that RE profits are derived from buying smart (and that doesn't require flipping, wholesaling, or massive discounts).
