How to Handle Negative Cash Flow in Real Estate

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the challenging scenario of owning a property with negative cashflow. 💸 If you're feeling the squeeze between your rental income and operating expenses, this one's for you! We'll be addressing a question from Elijah, who's facing a common dilemma: whether to hold onto a property that's losing money each month or to cut his losses and sell.

Submit your question for David to be featured:

Please continue to post David! Your insight is more important than just being associated with BP.

Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich.

Timely video for me. I always appreciate your insight David. I closed on a Brand new construction property back in January and rented it for less than I anticipated, which at the time I felt pretty terrible about because all these videos I am watching say to sell if your not positive cash flow. What I wasn't thinking about was the 20K of equity I immediately walked into, rent increases over time, and hopefully refinancing in the future to a lower rate which will then make me cash flow positive. I think it is easy to get in the mindset of hitting a homerun immediately, but sometimes, especially in markets like these, you have to be patient to get your reward.

Big on the transfusions. My Atl condo cash flows $500 but my Texas house bleeds $400 a month and can’t sell because of the current market. But rent and appreciation will eventually go up so long term it’s not terrible for me.

Great video, this helped me factor whether or not to keep a three property. After further evaluation I am going to keep it for the foreseeable future.
