I need help running numbers on a sample property as my results do not look/feel right (getting negative cashflow).

I think it much depends on what are your short and long term perspectives.Let's see if I can put up a reasonable answer, and I also take it as an exercise for myself to clear up my ideas.If you invest for retirement and the goal is (as for much of us) having a passive income and maybe retire earlier, I think that the hardcore of our investments should be made in the same currency of the country we want to retire.

That fee is not refundable if they don't exercise their option to purchase the house.

Small sample size in comparison to all, however, all of them overpromised and underdelivered.

I have never taken much interest in strategies that open up the possibility of this option being exercised.

I did take a mold air sample test thing and just sent it off to lab today HELP

I'm up early around 3 usually.I don't run 25-30 miles a week like I use to, but you also need to get exercise, that will help your sleep as well.    

@Tony VelezThe 50% guideline is simply a statistical observation: looking at a sample of rental properties, over time the operating costs run approximately 50% of the gross revenue.

Hello everyone,      Im just starting to get my feet wet with analyzing MFP's and was wondering if there are any sources of sample scenarios, or transactions, that can be used to get the basic understanding of how to read the numbers and what works and what doesn't work. 

You can find some sample contracts under the resources tab above.
