I own one property (former primary residence.)Belcamp, Maryland 21017Suburb of Baltimore, MarylandSemi-unique situation because proximity to Aberdeen Proving Ground (military base) provides a reliable source of quality rentersLeast expensive rentals in area available are approx. $1150/month for 1-BR 1-BA aptPurchase price= $165,000Current appraisal = $170,000Interest rate = 4.125%20% downP&I + Ins. + taxes = $853/monthHOA = $66/month(paid by me)Property Manager = 7% ($98/month)Rent = $1400/monthI understand that repairs are an expense and that the possibility of vacancy is as well (more worried about the property management costs to find a new tenant).I am looking for some help looking for a good way to calculate expenses.

It does get old and it is alot of work, even hiring movers!

Take care of their moving expenses and pay the movers directly.

If cashback, I'd use the Home Depot card and the movers coupons.  

The Quality of the "Buyers" will be different for each group, but I'd say about 10% of the people who post there are actual movers and shakers.Connected Investors is another good website.But the best way is to go to local Real Estate Investors Association Clubs

I am closing on a 26 unit in Aberdeen finally (I am the broker) it fell out of contract a few times but we never had to put it back on market to keep it going.

Also if you haven't utilized the USAA movers advantage program, I'd suggest looking into it for any residence you plan to buy and live in.

Also, did you do s credit check,criminal check, eviction report and application through s sophisticated tool like Transunion Smart Mover, Cozy or Ezlandlords?

I have to say though- where there is competition there is value (and visa-versa) and where there is NOT competition there is usually* NOT value (unless you happen to be a lucky 1st-mover).

I recently started an investment "team" called Movers and Shakers.
