Rest due at closing) You can look at it anyway you want, but while you're looking, don't miss these financial facts:1- Cost to you = $63,6802 - Profit = $20,0003 - Remaining Cost not recovered = $43,680 (you don't make a profit until you recover all your costs, so the $20k "profit" in Item #1 isn't a profit...unless you think going to Vegas with $10k in cash, increasing your cash to $15k, then losing $30k is somehow winning $5k)4 - If, as mentioned above, you can get $350/month ($4200/yr) in rent...which if you were breaking even before, you would now be cash flowing $4300/year.5 - Unfortunately, that means it will still take you 10+ years (all being perfect) to recover the rest of your cost.6 - Still not a good deal...at all.
