You have to find houses that have huge upside and hidden value that others missed.You've Got to Buy Right:  Now in the episodes I watch the stars always negotiate $10,000-$20,000 off the purchase price, and then explain that by the time they do their renovation the buyer will have $10,000-$20,000 equity.  

I don't have to worry about hidden repair costs and we have no vacancy problems here.Many people get into investing in rental properties and ruin their own lives.

I didn't account for hidden operating costs, emergencies, and good-turned-badly-disgruntled tenants.

Sometimes there are additional hidden costs you find when updating or repairing as well.  

The time to review the instructions for landing the airplane is well in advance of takeoff.

The answer= there are hidden fees or they are providing nothing of value to you. 

I was going to private message you but it seems your account is hidden.

Well worth the 129 and the instruction videos.

I've provided them with the requested instructions and I've responded with what you were alluding to Anna, we will need to have the lease signed and submitted no later than COB end of week otherwise we will be going on a M2M term, which then they agreed to comply.Again, thank you both.

I know of some in desreable area's with a price that would yield a positive cash flow if rented out but I'm worried they're are hidden obstacles a novice would not know about.
