I'll provide them for new folks 'on loan', you fix it or replace it, when w/d are left in units from the previous people. 

As James points out... the 5.5 from debt paydown (paying down your loan) is about as close to a guaranteed return as you can get (without us ever daring to call it guaranteed) and provided they don't change the tax laws... the depreciation is probably a reasonable assumption as well.If you want, hit me up and maybe we can run some numbers in my new real estate modeling/simulation software for the turnkey stuff...

Are we really here to discourage the people who are taking bold action and/or going after their dreams because we project our own fears on them or because we don't want to see them succeed because deep inside of ourselves, we want to invest internationally but don't dare doing and so the last thing we want is to see other people successfully doing it.I see repeated negative posts from the same people (not those who replied here thus far) from people in the international forum and I'm left wondering why they're hanging in the international forum if they're negative about international investing.By the way, even though I totally disagree with him on this matter, I have to command @John Carbone for writing in all honesty "I haven't researched ...

I don't dare ask for 50%, do I?

I don't dare list myself as an RE Agent.
