I got tired of the unpredictable stocks and wanted to generate income predictably.

The amount of research one would have to do to learn how to consistently make returns of 40% in a year (I made 40% in the stock market last year too BTW, it was just a good year for everyone) is huge.Since it is so complex and unpredictable, the common advice is for everyone to put their money in index funds via a tax advantaged account such as a 401K or Roth IRA.

Thing is mate, I never take any prisoners and that's always been my style... lol)I'm happy to own up to our shortfalls tho just like I will with you now.I want to admit that I believe we could have done better with one of your properties and I'm sorry that it hasn't performed as expected.At Ohio Cashflow we like to limit how much business we do so we can offer a service that is by far better than anyone else in the industry.Less volume/sales = More time spent on attention to detail and client satisfaction.We truly only work with 10-20% of all investors that inquire.We would rather be a "small and great" company then a "big and average" one.With that said, it's still beyond me why one of your properties took 6 months to rent (Sure, we covered the rent but that's not the point).There was nothing wrong with the property (It's located in our bread and butter zip code) and I walked it myself numerous times because it was always on our mind.I guess it was just one of those unpredictable things that sometimes happen in real estate for no particular reason.I'm glad that we have had a tenant there for a while now that seems to be paying on time.Thanks again for your trust and belief in us and don't hesitate to reach out anytime.

Flooding is unpredictable and flood plain maps are based on elevation, so there is a reason the house is in the flood plain.A couple things to consider about flood plains:1.

Different work ethics, different ethics entirely, unpredictable changes on either side.I got the impression they had been burned far more times via partnerships than helped.  

It’s unpredictable because there are too many variables.

Computers and technology sometimes become wildly unpredictable, and if you’re smart you still make sure they do exactly what they were programmed for and never forget the importance of trust and verify.

My job at times can be relaxed but also incredibly demanding and unpredictable at other times depending on what is happening in the world.

I do hope you keep us all updated on how your investment pans out over the long haul.I have been thinking of dipping my toes in the Turnkey pool myself since I work 60+ hours a week with an unpredictable schedule.
