I also suspect that several other's will follow realizing that your website could use more financial support and it also is for a good cause (supporting competitiveness and Free Market)

Appreciate the perspective.I just realized I was over on my expenses because the taxes are built into my mortgage.Basically, I was doubling tax expenses in the summary and the Rent Vs Sell.REVISED MONTHLY SUMMARYRental Income $3,500Less ($3,740).

Yes I just realize this..I need to "crunch" the numbers to have an idea of how much I would pay every month..if I take..like $50k every three months 3 times..I could not find an heloc calculator that allows me to calculate precise monthly payments..Any ideas?

I wouldn't trust them to make the payments, especially if the property value goes down and they have a bum tenant not paying rent because they mis-managed it and had poor underwriting skills to begin with and realize they messed up and just walk away (what makes it attractive to them if it's not attractive to you?).

Sorry I just realized this is 3 months old.

On the one hand, I realize I just need to let time do it's magic and enjoy appreciation and debt paydown, but I'm looking for ways to continually grow my portfolio by either acquiring more properties or finding ways to generate more income which will be used to purchase more properties.I tried using OPM but that doesn't work for me for several reasons - if I go down a loan route I can't pay it back because of my LTV cap and partnering for equity requires a lot of work in bulding trust and even then it's for a very small share of equity which is insignificant.

I realize it can vary by area, but is there a formula for determining a general ballpark estimate?

Additionally, we realized the value of collaborating closely with partners to maintain clear communication and a unified vision for the property.

Those numbers are always great in theory, but people fail to understand what it is like in practiceWhen you are competing with 50 other units in your block for rent, can't rent the property to qualified individuals, and are dealing with constant maintenance/property/tenants issues, you realize that the returns are too good to be true. 

I consistently see people with $10-$20k spend most of it on training and being told by these gurus they can make 30-50% returns with their eyes closers only to realize it will take 48 years to make back the cost of the training.
