In December 2015, we watched the first booster softly land themselves.

Including the types of loan programs, partnering up on marketing materials or online platforms like List Reports, Listing Booster and Total Expert, and holding open houses together- supplying flyers and food.Then most importantly, they’ve proven themselves to be responsive and capable of handling the transactions, especially challenging ones!  

I've long felt that the walkable / charming / affordable suburbs had become a bit underpriced relative to the City (which was super hard for me to admit as I've always been a huge City booster) but if the City is now dropping in price I may start to get interested again. 

But before we dive into the formula, let's meet the players in this real estate drama:Rental Income: The star of the show – this is the money you receive from renting out your property.Mortgage Payment: The giant elephant in the room – this can be a hefty expense, but don't worry, it's worth it in the long run.Property Taxes: The government's cut – just like paying taxes on your salary, you have to pay taxes on your rental property too.Insurance: The safety net – protects your property and your finances in case of natural disasters or accidents.Repairs and Maintenance: The handyman – because things break, it's just a fact of life.Utilities: The energy boosters – keep your tenants comfortable and happy.Property Management Fees (if applicable): The middleman – if you don't have the time or patience to deal with the day-to-day responsibilities of being a landlord, this is the solution.Now that you know the players, let's get to the formula:Actual Cash Flow = Rental Income - (Mortgage Payment + Property Taxes + Insurance + Repairs and Maintenance + Utilities + Property Management Fees)It's simple, yet powerful.

Some of the buildings here don't have very good internet and need a booster.

(Yes, I have a cell phone booster and wi-fi at my house with calling enabled.) 

We had a pressure booster pump on another house and it did a great job but I think that is too much here, just looking to get the showers a little more pressure.
