Anything below that for a loan amount can get challenging.Sounds like you will be fine based on the 500k slot 3 ways.Good Luck

I really love Real Estate and just learning in general.

Originally posted by @Irina Belkofer:Money are not free: you are buying time, it worth every penny.Your Tenants pay the mortgage, interest in it, taxes, insurance and then some.....if you’d saved these money you borrowed, you’d wait 10-15 years to buy that income producing asset.Your primary residence is an exception, however, HELOC on it still let you put downpayment on these rentals.It’s wiser to not think how much banks make on your mortgage but rather understand how much you make off that asset I agree with Irina 100%.I don't care how much money the bank makes on its money as long as I make MORE money as a result of their money.That's why I love real estate and more specifically, I love the LEVERAGE aspect of it.

Go to any gamblers anonymous meeting, or simply ask someone playing a slot machine, "why do yo do it?" 

This requires you to pay CLOSE attention to the market, which you will only do if you truly love real estate.

I noticed there's plenty of illegal units around, and owners DO NOT install mailboxes, but have mail slots on the door, and have tenants sort out the mail themselves.

A) - Analyze your Current Entrance/Opportunity Cost   1 - Establish property sq ftg ranges, with each range no more than 300 sq ft in width.   2 - List the current properties for sale, and slot them in the ranges (see #1)   3 - Establish what the current entrance cost is per range. 

It's not a guarantee of problems but there is a very, very high risk of ruining relationships and it's not worth it.Mixing business with a lover is probably the dumbest of the three.

., for the 428, actually it's 443, it breaks down as follows:- Property Tax: $33- Insurance: $35- Repairs: $75- HOA: $177- Property Manager: $123I have CapEx split out separately and I don't have a lot slotted for it ($50 a month).
