For example, my appliance store gives me a 10% discount, so I charge a 5% markup to my owners to make a little money and the owner still saves 5% from retail. 

The units are all currently occupied right now, so we won't have to worry about the buyer's market right now haha.With the cash flow I will receive, it will be enough to take care of property taxes, insurance, and enough to save up for any emergiences with the unit that I will need to take care of, so no need to worry, I got you :)!
