Hello BP Community

Maintenance: $70

Vacancy: $140

Property Taxes: $28 (current taxes, will probably rise) 

Insurance: $78

Mortgage: $402/month (currently pre approved at 4.875%) (pretty sure I can shop and get a better rate)

Utilities: $0 (Tenant pays all) 

  • Water/Sewage: $0
  • Gas: $0
  • Electricity: $0
  • Trash - $0

Total Expenses: $ 1116/month

Please let me know your thoughts?
