I'm guessing if you took the 200K out of the SF property, you'd be cashflow negative on that property?

It was profitable, but not enough for myself.I don’t know if the arbitrage model “opponents” on the forum are actually all that negative on the concept itself, or are negative on the fact that people asking the questions having just seen the videos are naive and belief that with little knowledge, experience, capital and business management ability they can easily earn a ton of money.  

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

Look out for major negatives such as long staircases to front door, no garages (at least in CA and TX) locations on major streets (or backing up to major streets with traffic noise, proximity to train tracks or under airport flight paths, no yards on hillsides can be a big negative, proximity to flood zones, proximity to commercial or industrial, lack of similar size homes in the area or having what will be a great home but surrounded or in the proximity of  crap (shacks, run down homes, small homes with just your big one, etc.).

Also, I just got off the phone w/ Core Logic and they use Trans Union as well for credit reporting.Not negating anything that others have mentioned.

If I continue to rent to poorly qualified tenants who do not pay on time, and were risky to take on in the first place, it will negatively impact the quality of life of all my tenants. 

Some see the bigger picture while some focus on the little things in life and channel negative energy!

I was all set to go on QB Pro 2015 until I read all of the negative reviews on Amazon.

And like I said in my previous post I personally believed and still do believe that it is his arrogance that is the root cause of his negative actions and bitter perception of RE investors.PS.

If you read more of the BiggerPockets forums you will find that in places like Florida and other highly volatile areas, betting on appreciation is more like gambling.If it is a long term buy and hold and you can sustain the annual negative cashflow, then it makes sense.
