Put that theory into action and let go of all that negative thinking.

if you can't sell it for a year, when you do and add in your negative cashflow + repairs + 2k flipping penalty = pretty good loss if you get stuck with it for awhile, and about break-even if you don't (not including possible vacancy or major repairs).

Here is what I look at - it's the only way that makes sense.Does the property provide a positive cash flow or a negative cash flow.

investors who bought a year and 2 ago are facing either foreclosure, HUGE negative cash flow, or cancelling contracts and forfeiting their 20% deposits.

I have spoken to 2 other landlords; they both told me that when they started they had negative cash flow and raised the rents over time until they flowed.

Mwarden, Yes, I do expect to have negative cash flow while I am living there.

expect bad things to happen and see the negative in things - and that's what you'll get.expect good things to happen and YEARN for the challenges of the day...see them as OPPORTUNITIES TO EXCEL...and...my friend - life will be kick ***!

I'm a newbie I have the whole concept of wholesaling but the onlyy reason I 'm scared to go through with a deal is because of the contract.

The overall gist of what I was reading seemed to point to the concept that patience is key and that even small sums of money lead to very large profits after many years when properly invested.I'm debating whether I should study Real Estate Investment or the stocks.

Borrowing more than you need will almost guarantee that you will have negative cash flow on this deal (although it was probably negative anyway).
