What I mean is, some investors look strictly at cash on cash return, some look at cap rate, others just want to make sure their mortgage is covered.

Rufo, so you are violating the HOA rules so I don't think they would cover anything if it is the fault of your guests.This will eventually catch up with you and could result in some big fines so maybe think of selling this or converting to a LTR instead.

All rents you get from this property has to go back into the SDIRA but if you get a 20 year mortgage (that the rent can cover) and can pay the rental off by age 65 you will have turned that $90K into several hundred thousand’s of paid off real estate.

We're new to real estate and would appreciate advice on our current home in Texas and our future place in Oregon.We love our house in Austin and aren't ready to sell, but as a long-term rental, it would yield (from what I understand) negative cash flow, covering principal and interest but not taxes and insurance.

I want the cash flow to cover any expenses the property may have.With my next property I am trying to figure out what state/town to go to.

I often have tenants who don't pay the last month's rent because they think the security deposit will cover what is owed. 

Your initial terms will vary based on your investment experience, but generally, you want to plan on needing 20% of the purchase price if you're a newer investor and the lender will cover 100% of the rehab.

I hope that covers your question(s) Thank you Cari.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.
