@Jose Martinez if $8500 per month was your cash flow number and you have reached it then it is time to start paying down the debt. 

I would strongly consider building equity to make a stronger down payment and further decrease your monthly cost. 

Following Up + More details: @carolineOur utilities were also opened using an LLC but since the power had actually been shut off the problem mostly came from ICE sending someone out to turn it back on plus installing a new style meter (which had to be approved by our HOA but that was another matter entirely and not particularly difficult).Opening a bank account with BCR as an individual is easy and you can get an atm card in about 3 days but you will be limited to holding only a thousand dollars in it.

At month 70 all leverage is gone.My big question is why?  

I submitted all my paperwork for the NJ broker app a month ago (a week after I passed my test). 

You can't take six months off from reviewing properties and hop back in like nothing happened.

I think my personal guideline will be 10 properties, or $2k in cash flow a month.

However, they are merging with another company next month which does NOT have MLS-only memberships.

Lets say for argument sake, that I rent out one unit long term for $2000 monthly unfurnished, the other unit, I live in so I only rent out one room for $1000 all bills paid.  

We used to hire a company to balance the chemicals and my costs were almost 2K per month.
