Thanks for the response Kerry. Do you put in anything for purchase price, etc? The reports I end up with show really high expense ratio. 

Am I just overestimating some of the expense percentages? 

We are in the process of buying a new home and want to convert our current one into a rental property. The BP Rental Property Calculator is a great resource when figuring out whether to purchase a potential property or not.

What is the best way to use the Rental Calculator on a property that you already own and have been living in for some time?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

@Chris Washington I just took a glance at your website. It's a great inspiration for someone like me just starting off and just learning about the ins and outs. Nice setup! 

Just curious, how long have you been in REI?

Thanks @Ned Carey. Happy to be here.

@Account Closed thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, I was unable to make it last night but I will definitely be on the look out for the next one. I may not have notifications set up from here so I missed your reply. Bummer.

Would love to chat with you sometime on some contractor work since you're local! 

@Jill DeWit thanks so much for the best wishes. I've been listening to the podcasts and reading as much I can to gain knowledge. I try to catch the weekly webinars with @Brandon Turner as much as possible.

@Russell Brazil thanks for the link! I've signed up and I'm awaiting approval to join the meetup. I look forward to attending the next one and meeting new people who share this passion!

Thanks @Crystal Smith. 

@Jason Wade we could definitely exchange some ideas. Let me know how you would like to arrange it. Thanks!

I am a full-time User Experience/Interface Designer. I've always been interested in real estate and my aim is to start investing in 2016.

My goal is to build a diverse portfolio including residential and commercial properties that generates $1 million in income per annum (based on the Millionaire Real Estate Investor).

I've listened to tons of BP podcasts over the past years and now it's time to do this.
