Obviously I still work, but I work on increasing foot traffic doing online marketing so I can build a pipeline of recurring business without the need for my presence. 

I am a Realtor and I have decided to take this leap of faith with some anxiety and nervousness about putting an offer in for my FIRST property and assigning the deal to a Cash Buyer.

Some go by actual rents, some put in pro forma rents based on market rates if there's a lot of vacancies, some list actual expenses, some list expected expenses based on historical records, most will never include "one time" maintenance or repair items that actually recur regularly, and then some will put in vacancy contingencies and maintenance & repair contingencies and some don't, some include management fees some don't, some leases are NNN or NN or some mix of that or just flat rent, some property's pass through expenses are reconciled while some are partly reconciled while some tenants might have a clause that their rents can not be reconciled and some property owner don't know that means. 

@Danny Randazzo thank you Danny, def a recurring recommendation so I will heed all this advice!

I agree with the others who have said not to let any anxiety about that 3.5% rush you, but to find the right opportunity.

To encourage them to pay online on a scheduled recurring basis, I was thinking of offering them a one-time gift certificate.

My accounting business just used a coach who helped us increase monthly recurring revenue by 30%.

Your lender should be a great resource, not cause you more anxiety.

I had to fire my previous one who was terrible about service and am so happy I did.Other - I'd add a recurring pest control, which is about $85/3months so a little less than $30/month.You should self manage and self pest control while you live there.
