I don't think the insurance is very expensive.  

i provide dishwasher if we are putting a new kitchen. also a garbage disposal.sometimes i provide washers/dryers if i have extra laying around (i always seem to have them).sometimes i have purchased fridges and ovens since it's best to invest in capital expense and get a tenant than to have a house sit empty forever.our lease also states that tenants should purchase the appliance plan, which noone really does purchase. 

with an interesting U-shape, but short-term money is still more expensive than long-term (https://www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com) . 

And because we use classes, we need the 2nd to most expensive version.

I saw one using grk’s which I guess are structural but I don’t know why anyone would use those because they are so expensive. 

Then you need to add in pain in the *** factor, which for an older expensive property while you live abroad is quite high.

I was shown about a handful of their holdings in the Houston, Memphis, and Little Rock markets, but the cash flow and CoC returns were less than $100 per month and 2-4% after factoring in additional expenses like 7% vacancy and 10% maintenance per month to go along with 20% down and conventional mortgage.

Washington is expensive and I’m at around $23k saved to start investing.

After all expenses accounted for, my Quickbooks is showing an estimated Tax bill of $93K.

After i reached the 20% mark, i was pretty much breaking even on the property after expenses.
