Received access to mortgage portal to ensure all payments are made (including escrow).Anything else here I should do or not do if acquiring for the long-term?

Question is, if I have the means to put a high enough down payment on a house to be cash flow positive (assuming my expense estimates are accurate, etc.) is that something that I should do?  

But the $2300 down payment, $2500 over asking and paying the fees seems, not quite right.

It's still early but we're expecting tenants to use the service for 9-18 months, and about 45% to also order the extra reporting of their previous rent payments which costs ~$20-25.

This could increase interest rate and or down payment.2.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.

@Kim LeduffIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Quote from @Efrain Flores: Quote from @Tim Delaney: Based on rent of $1500-1600 and mortgage payment of $1700-1800 which doesn’t even include maintenance, management or capex it doesn’t seem to make any sense to keep it as a rental.

I would keep the property and eventually refi to help get your payment down lower.

A HELOC could help temporarily if you plan to payoff the balance quickly and are planning to save on monthly payments in the short term.
