This was my 3rd investment property I purchased. Roughly 9 blocks away from the University of Southern Miss (where Brett Favre played in college). This rental was a Section 8 home where I payed for the water/garbage. My mortgage was $539 and i charged $1,025 a month. However, due to the water usage, i was paying almost $125 a month in water expenses (Cash flow: $361) I re-negotiated the lease and lowered the Rent to $950 and got away from paying the utilities.

Current cashflow: $419
