You just divide the monthly rent by the purchase price.

We routinely turn off boilers during the summer to prevent them from running to keep up to temp all the time during the warm months.

I was planning on shorter term rentals as I have a family member who comes for 2 months in the summer, but I assume a landlord policy would cover that as well.   

There's no charge to me to get these funds except a yearly fee of 200.00. 

After selling one and using a 1031 exchange to buy a fourplex in Chicago, he reduced his interest burden by 20% while boosting his net incomes by $1,500 per month.

Even the nicer homes don't rent for over $2,750 a month there.

Once you know what your monthly costs look like, you can make a sharper call if a sweet off-market deal pops up.

my property appreciation varies from a low of $2700/month to over $10k/month.   

We’ll see how this next month goes!

I am in Milwaukee, very hot rental market.Whenever you have an issue like this, think with an XLS and project dollars, for example:- 2 months lost rent: 2 x $2000- 5% lower purchase price: $15,000
