Equity earns 0% interest (inflation will destroy your purchasing power) your real estate investment will Appreciate or Crash regardless of how much down payment you put on your home.

I even purchased his cash flow board game to play with my family.

Have you purchased any in the Clev markets as you said you wanted to months ago?

@Fulati PaerhatiRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I just purchased my first duplex (only SFHs in my portfolio so far) and it doesn't have the gas/water split.

LTR could get $3200-3400.3-just purchased in August a townhouse in Costa Mesa California 3 miles from the beach walking distance from the back bay great location.

I purchased a single family to rent out the rooms and it sent my finical plan completely off course because I was not as ready as I previously thought.

To determine the correct treatment, consider the RV's permanence, utility connections, and business use.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Additonally investor buyers use matrix like cash flow to determine value. 

To OP, it's not as scary as you think it is, this will be your first home purchase, you can purchase a multi family or SFR and house hack.
