You're mind should change from having to spend money on marketing to how can I spend my money wisely.My first year using banditsigns cost me $7,600 and I brought in $54,000 in pure cash.

I've been to most everyone and still get the best hair cut from Randy.The joys of living in a college town.

Building on what Wheatie said, using your more specific financing assumptions ($5K down, 6.3%, 30 years), along with the 50% rule, you get the following:Gross rent: $470Expense percent: 50%Expenses: $235NOI:$235Payment: $209Cash flow: $31+/monthSo, that's $369/year cash flow, which at least is positive in terms of pure cash flow, but let's calculate the returns:Cash-on-Cash: $369/$5000 = 7.38%Total Return (w/equity accrual) = 15.04%So, not a great return, but maybe not as bad as was originally portrayed; keep in mind that this doesn't include closing costs, which would reduce your return by a percent or two).

You might as well pick something for a degree that will help your ultimate career choice OR something that is just purely for fun.If you are a real sadist, you could get an actuarial science degree.

Over the long run, they probably end up with more wealth if they stick it out without losing properties but if I'm too stressed to joy life now, what's the point of having a ton more money later?.

That's speculation, pure and simple.

There are 3 main Option strategies....1) ASsignment or Cooperative assignment2) Sandwich3) Straight or Pure Option For the Sandwich, you will want 2 sets of docs.

Looking at purely cashflow of 100/mo can lead to big mistakes
