The first that i recommend is figure out where you want to end up at ! Then the path will be clear.

Good point and yes you’re so very right. I see people all the time stay stuck in the situation. It’s kind a like saying if I never sell it for less than what I paid for it I’ll never lose money

Personally those numbers don’t seem real good to me. Make sure all your expenses are covered and you are profitable.....so many are clueless on what they are expecting and what is reality

Thank you for your time. It seems to me when I’m crunching the numbers that %10 to capital expenditures, 10% to a property manager,10% to routine maintenance, and then %10 to vacancy could all be eliminated with doing a rent to own to a resident. Even though it might be less monthly coming in it sure looks like at the end of the year if they’ll be more in the account then if I just have a rental.....I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions thank you
