Do you have numbers/percentages of what a breakdown of owner occupied vs rental houses in a neighborhood or zip code that you service?

It seems difficult to find a good property management team for affordable percentages. 

@Joseph Hammel,With Solo 401k there are two way to contribute: elective deferrals (which is $20,500 for this year) + profit sharing of potentially another $40K, but it is not a match but rather based on the percentage of your net SE income.

@Peter T. what would you consider a fair percentage for a property manager?

In this morning's paper, a private contractor offered to donate 20 acres to Maui County for a landfill for a percentage of tipping fees.

That means in this case you would need to translate that "5" into actual dollars of cash flow per month, then multiply by 12 for the year.Now divide the cash you put in (actual cash, not the percentage) and that will tell you how long it will take you to recover your cost, and where that "cash flow" is now real, and not just a recovery of cost.So, on these cash flow deals (especially the ones you put in 30% of the purchase price), how long will it take you before you recover your cost (the cash you put in,...the DP)?

In the past, RentingFamilyMember has filed Schedule E and apportioned expenses by rental percentage, including mortgage interest and real estate taxes between Schedule E and Schedule A.

I have been diligently reading, studying, and beginning to practice analyzing cash flows of properties within Chicago and some Chi suburban areas.While I try to use whatever tools I have at my disposal and also be conservative with my numbers while analyzing properties (vacancy percentage, expenses, etc) I believe that in some areas of my analyses, I may not be getting the most accurate information.For everyone out there, where do you get your rental estimates by location?

And honestly, a few 1/100ths of a percentage doesn’t make a huge difference in the monthly note.

Even though it would be a small percentage of a home that's coming up on a mil, the bottom line is that it still needs to make fiscal sense.
