I have always suggest that people consider bringing on the birddogs as 'partners' (loose definition of partner) if they want to share the profit.

That includes all the expenses: advertising, taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, vacancies, entity maintenance, legal fees, evictions, setout fees, damage done by the tenants (in excess of the deposit), capital expenses (not technically an operating expense), etc, etc, etc.

Here in Washington State, though, they are required to return the any excess funds from a trustee sale.

As long as the cash flow is good, is everything else irrelevant regarding the mtg.Question two: how much excess cash would you keep on hand for each rental, to feel comfortable enough ie stable enough, to purchase a new property.I hope I made my question clear.thanks for the helpSteve
