- Preserving the Equity of Your Rentals Continued
[Real-Estate:Selling] Turn negative cash flow houses into positive cash flow houses by selling them to your tenants. When you have a house that tenants won't buy for cash, or for which they cannot pay higher rents, trade negative cash flow for positive cash flow by selling on time and carrying the note. - Preserving the Equity of Your Rentals
[Real-Estate:Property-Management] If your rentals are losing equity every day and you don't want to sell, at least raise your rents.

[Finance:Leases-Leasing] Lack of cash flow is a common problem with a lot of investors who hire management companies. When you take 10% off the top of rents for management, that can make the difference between profit and loss for the year. The only way to make up for this is to reduce vacancy, turnover, and maintenance, and to keep rents at current fair market levels. - Use Property Defects to Negotiate a Better Price When Buying Real Estate
