You are correct that they are headed for serious trouble. he number i called..cant remember his name but if you see other posts on here he has posted 9196045703 Brent? 

It can make life easier when it comes to having to make a business decision and think with your head, rather than your heart. 

Anyways, I think @Caleb Brown hit the nail on the head.

So I just joined Buildium, spent hours setting everything up, it seems mostly pretty great, except one HUUUUGE issue that is making my head explode...they don't support credit card tracking?!?!?  

People just make sure they have all that they need when they head out.

I am just trying to wrap my head around at what purchase price does this property cash flow. 

Being a normal person and giving someone a heads up has not bit me, yet.In addition to what the law requires, I always shoot the tenant a heads up either via text, call, or email.If they are mostly responding to email, then shoot them an email.Emojis and gifs work wonders in today's day in age.

Head over to bank rate or and take a look at the mortgage calculators, plug in the numbers and get an idea of what the property needs to generate to satisfy the intended debt.You still have to underwrite the deal for the non-finance expenses as well(typically 40-50% of the gross rents). 

You decided to become a real estate agent.You went to school, bought your books, passed your exam, got hired by a broker, ordered business cards and took a head shot.

I totally recognize that is impatient and greedy.My gut is saying your short picture idea is where we're heading since we are taking the same hit with brokerage account (I didnt even mention borrowing against 401k - yes its not advised but my wife and I have stable W2 income to pay ourselves back) Thanks again, this BP community / forum is awesome
