I'm seeing these reports getting posted here and don't understand why it includes the 50% Rule Cash Flow Estimate section. In my opinion it's wildly off when it comes to estimating monthly costs.
In the section above you list expenses (property tax, CapEx, maintenance, insurance, vacancy, etc.) those numbers look high but safe. I'd guess you haven't researched them very much. Then the report spits out a 50% rule and takes $2600 per month to $2000. That's a huge difference in cash-flow each month.
