Caution:  Personal credit card financing is a huge risk and good luck finding 0 percent interest today.

It is something I am interested in doing in the future, potentially even this year, but I am curious how to put concrete numbers to this decision.  

I think you run a real risk of your second rental eating up the profits you're enjoying on the first one.

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

The calculation uses the following formula: Total Rent Potential x 75% ≥ PITI (plus HOA if any). 

"Getting in" is easy; making money, managing the business, with the increased financial risk of commercial properties is a whole different game. 

@Ryan Johnston If your rental is costing you $75–$150 per month, weigh the long-term appreciation potential against the ongoing losses.

It seems like the perfect place, BiggerPockets, for finding people who are like-minded, asking them questions, and learning how to become a future investor.I believe that no matter how unforgiving the market may seem, the right tools, knowledge, and preparation can help minimize risk and create opportunities.

Tenant had some risk items such as extension cord going from outside to inside which invited an inspection.

My main question is whether it makes more sense to go the seller financing route and pay off the principal in 8–10 years or stick with a standard 30-year loan.My thinking is that the tax deductions from a mortgage wouldn’t outweigh the potential equity I could gain over those 8–10 years.
