In addition, the machine has become non-functional thus no income for me until it is fully fixed while I still have to pay rental. I think the cost of repairs will not make the collection worthwhile. The AirKu business is definitely not going well for me. I&#8217;ll have to think of something to get better returns.<\/p>\n<p>Latex industry has been known for their poor payment. And the condom manufacturer up north in Kulim, Kedah is no different with very tight cash flows. I should have stopped the delivery until they are able to come up with the funds. Now their payment will become delayed and my regional office will be screaming for payment.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Kiyosaki must have some kind of mechanism in mind for monetary collection when he says he could receive passive income regularly and on the positive cash flow position. Well, either I slipped on that idea or I just got lousy tenant who is now way, way behind in their rental arrears. Since I&#8217;m still servicing my mortgage loan and paying monthly service charges, the tenants are basically living in the condo at my expense!
