Lenders often include a portion of the cash flow in the investment property as income to you personally to offset the DTI. 

It can be used to monitor markets, filter results based on lots of different criteria & even includes annual revenue numbers that you can work backwards to see how certain markets/properties are performing.

Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.

Hey Tyler we hate to hear that your experience was negative sincerely we would have hoped that we could have come to a resolution we know that you and your partner had made a request that we do $800 of work that was unfortunately not in your scope of work at the time we had exhausted $4900 in additional work to ensure the property was to satisfaction which included a new hood range upgraded lvp flooring additional framing  new window and a paint upgrade from a single color format to a multi color format and can lighting all of which was never in the original scope and unfortunately when we requested that we do the work you declined I’ve attached before and after videos of the home for reference https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h0ddll4cyp5g5gq12o73s/Video-J... always twos sides to these stories.. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

I have property in three out of four of those counties including one SFH in Madison, one SFH in Limestone on 20 acres that's being developed to a MHP slowly, and one existing small MHP in Morgan County. 

With $150K, I could easily put together a portfolio of 6 rent properties from deals I see every week, including last week.Just get started.

Let's break it down here:1. 20% down or less: This largely depends on your financial situation and long-term goals.

I just bought a new-build townhouse in Nov 2024 that included a washer, dryer, fridge, microwave, HVAC, etc. for $240k.

When I do it at 20% down, I can only find negative cashflow, so I could be looking in the wrong spot, or I need to put more down, or I am missing something all together.I have read that making a 8% return or higher is what to look for, and I can find break even.
