The only actual calculation is the payment, which is a built-in function in Excel.

I would just make sure everything is functional and done right the first time around.

If you use the search function at the top of the page for 50% rule or 50% expenses, you will understand what I'm talking about.I won't buy a property unless I get $100 per unit per month positive cash flow using real world expense numbers (the 50% rule).To get the capital gains exemption, you must live in a property 2 of the past 5 years.One final thought.

Real Estate is a leveraged, functional investment.

GeorgeFirst, the 50% rule is NOT an accounting function nor is it anything other than a rule of thumb...That said, the way I interpret and use the rule of thumb -- and most investors I know would agreed -- is as follows:"On average, across a large number of units, a long time period and a large geographic sample, somewhere around 50% of gross income will be used for operating expenses, vacancy/rent loss and CapEx."

BTW, I do know how to use the search function so I'll try and research before pulling the trigger.

The current company i am using Veracity credit, is very helpful, they answer the phone, are professional, and actually function as a business.

Looking forward to understanding the rest of the functionality - now that I'm a member.
