I am okay running some properties at a negative for the right reasons, you could lower the rent and settle for a small decrease or depending on your equity situation you could 1031 the property into something that has a stronger tenant market in the area.I am here to chat about it more if you'd like and even take a look at your rental listing to see if there is anything you can tweak to make it more effective!

- You will be at negative cashflow even with roommates?

I only say this to push back against the narrative that this will fix the housing problem.

I market to distressed off market sellers, so yes I come across the negative examples, not the positive ones.

I ask because there are many great spots in SA for investing however, with what you described, you likely will be in the negative cash flow territory unless you intend to add value to the property!

I only work with agents who are also investors, as they are looking at a deal the same way that you are 

It seems whenever I have an initial scoping call with one company that call goes well and then I find a series of reviews that are alarming and negative and keep me from moving forward.

Did not get the money back, but the tenant did get a negative mark on their credit.Front Lobby, is a credit reporting site.

I only offer month-to-month (MTM) leases in my properties.

I only use them on wrap/subto/seller finance transactions.
