Episode Summary
In this episode of Get Real Wealthy Season 2, Quentin talks about seven ways to turn negative cash flow properties into positive cash flow.
Quentin says that the problem with negative cash flow hinders the growth of your portfolio. If you have positive cash flow and even if the value of your property goes down, you would still be able to hold on to that asset for a longer period of time. The other reason is that banks will continue to finance. If you have one negative cash flowing property, maybe two and then you’ll get financing because you’re betting on the appreciation. You want to have a high debt coverage ratio when you consider rents versus the debts that you have on your asset, and that is why you have to have cash-flowing properties.
