Let's say at 6% over 30Yrs will be about $960 per month(Principle/Interest) with the remaining  interest only portion $40K costing roughly $200 per month. $1500- $960 + $200 IS $340Cash in your pocket after everything roughly $1500-$1160-$340 which is not bad for a 100% financed deal(INFINITE RETURNS)Now, If you ran this analysis on a 1% deal as @Nicholas L. mentioned you will undoubtably end up in the red each month.All the best!!!

The Port Charlotte duplex...given it hasn’t suffered hurricane damage...could command a pretty penny on its own.I recall reading a piece in Forbes that suggests certain Florida markets could remain strong for years, which might help you gauge whether now is the right time to sell.

As I've witnessed, rebranding can make a significant difference in the success of a property, even if the physical appearance remains the same.By charging appropriate fees, exploring additional income sources, and undertaking property rebranding efforts, real estate investors can unlock the full potential of their investments.

And the remaining income you have from not paying off, but recasting, goes towards 2nd rental property.3) On the second rental property, I would only buy with more down/intrinsic.

Until then, water remains off.

I hope the remaining lots get sold soon and we get our refunds back.

The shaded regions represent periods of QE (QE1, QE2, and QE3), during which interest rates generally declined or remained low.

I do have reserves to cover contingencies.Let's just say, I'm satisfied with those numbers.Had I had to use a bank, I would have had to put down 20% for $33,000, plus closing and my payment on the remaining would be $1400 PITI including HOA. 

The key will be to remain flexible, understand the local market dynamics, and position themselves to take advantage of the eventual boom when the project comes to life in 2025.

So, often times even if 1 or 2 of the units in the building are not generating any rent, the remaining rents are still enough to pay for all of your property’s expenses and you don’t have to come out of pocket to cover them.
