making cash flow even/positive

= P.I.T.I.H. My break-even point is *even* cash flow. The way I see it is that I can own a sharply discounted properties with nearly 100% bank financing. The rental income is even with P.I.T.I.H (principal, interest, tax, insurance and HOA fee). My cost is literally zero in owning this [...]

Evander Holyfield, Creflo Dollar and ‘prosperity theology’ June 7th, 2008 by Ken Edelstein It seems the “prosperity gospel” didn’t perform as advertised for former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield. The Associated Press reported Thursday that the Fairburn resident faces foreclosure on his 109-room mansion. Also: “the mother of one of his children is suing for unpaid child support, and a Utah consulting company has gone to court claiming the boxer failed to pay back more than a half million
