This is a dumbed down math, but if you PITI is $126 higher but you're getting $16,626 more, it would take a long time until you break even and you'd probably be refinanced by then.

Most are going to screen for: lowest priced, top listed on Google (many top listed PMs in your local area pay to be sponsored, so their actual listing is much lower), volume or size of business, and those who are willing to break their own processes to simply tell you what you want to hear (e.g., I'll list your property $300 above the AVG even though the CMA shows that's overpriced and I won't tell you that it's going to sit vacant).

The searches in my area typically run 2-3 days behind the actual listings which can make or break a deal sometimes.

Give Mexicans wine grapes and they break all the rules that European wines place on their grapes- mixing certain wines is prohibited in Europe, but in Mexico it’s an opportunity for creativity.

It seems to break even on my calculator at that point, but seems risky to have to cover the refinanced mortgage. 

I am an agent, I know this area well and I will not get the price I want to break even which is about 375k.

I was interested in this topic as well, hopefully we can gain some insight to this.I'm wondering if you're able to achieve anything that would cash-flow as oppose to an appreciation/break even cottage play considering the short length of the rental season. 

Not really breaking news here.

I am a general contractor to and the deal comes with a plot of land beside it that I can build a fourplex on but I would like to at least break even on the duplex.

Depending on how well you set it up, you may be able to break even, or even positive cash flow.
