Hello All, I am a newbie in these forums and bought my 1st condo investment property in central Jersey. Lived in it for a year and then rented out.

Here are the numbers

Its a 2br 2 ba 1100sqt condo with homeowners association.

Incoming rent 1825

Operating expenses :

1. property tax- 416.mo

2. home insurance(farmers) -37/mo

3. Home warranty- 50/month (american home shield

4. HOA- 300/month

5. vacancy 5% - 90/month ( the property is in a high rental location, it got rented in a week.

6. Repairs 5% -90/month

7. Capex- not sure If I should allot for this ,as I am already paying american homeshield.

8. Property management 6 % : 108/month

9. Principal + interest 821.15/mo

Total expenses come to 1912.15 $

As you can see, not much cash flow- infact going negative.

Any comments on my situation. What can I modify to be in a better cash flow situation.

Also , I have a W2 job, so i dont depend on the cash flow from rental- it would be still nice to have a positive cash flow.

Any and All advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
