Would you mind telling us what you spend per month on life? 

Hi,Please let us know what you think on them after 6 month?

I have been binge listening to The Bigger Pockets podcast for the past few months and have learned a lot so far. 

My low months were 50-65% occupancy and 100% for summer.

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

               $215K @ 2.65% rate to be paid offRental in area -                I can rent this for $2600/month and it will give $500 cash flow after mortgage and HOA.              

I assumed a total loan of around $90k with a monthly payment of just under $1,600 using a random SF property in Indy with a similar asking price.

Hi Jack, there's a lot of old stock - I've traveled there and seen it myself, but word is out of Syracuse and it has shown up in various BP "lists" over the past 12 months as well.

It cost me about 1 month of vacancy, but i do not want a tenant that lied to get the unit.  

Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.
