Part of me says if I currently have close to $17K in annual positive cash flow, after expenses and vacancy's, repairs and cap ex held out, that I should pick up another 2-3 house to get that cash flow over $25K. 

Ex: 1100 a month instead of the 550.

I want to roughly factor in a 60% margin after factoring in expenses so even if expenses are under I’ll pull out the additional for any potential cap ex down the road.They said they’d provide a full year rent roll and financials breakdown after contract is accepted but the gave me June.What do you think of these numbers?

A lot of it is near military bases, but some is also just random places where ex-pats now live.

For me personally, I run all of my expense numbers (Mortgage, Insurance, Taxes, Vacancy, Cap-EX, Utilities, Repairs, Lawn Care etc...) to see what my final income would be while I live there.

Really cap ex is alot lower because literally everything in house will be new.

Let me know what you think.I have considered Expenses as:Vancancy, (3 units currently vacant)Cap Ex (likely to need to roofs soon, HVACs are newish, unsure of water heaters)Maintenance (assume 6% to keep up the property, will adjust after inspection)Lawn Care (currently $300/mo. assume I can keep that contract.)Taxes (Currently $3100)Insurance (not sure what to expect, guessing 1200/property)Flood Ins: Not needed in this areaThanks in advance BP community,Winn and Kaitlin Merwin

Only cap ex I see is the roof which I estimate will need to be replaced over the next 5 years (100k) .

If the ex-owners redeem the property you can normally recover your costs for safeguarding the house.
