Regarding DTI - mortgage industry will alllow around 40%, but tenants tend to pay a higher percentage of their income to rent/housing than homeowners.

Meaning higher percentage means less of the 70k I would need to put down for the new house?

I'd rather see a comparison of dollar amounts rather than percentages - they may have similar percents but the absolute dollar amounts should be quite different.  

All have re-appraised significantly higher absolute value & percentage. 

 I have 10 properties in the Portsmouth Virginia area and as of right now I am trying to sell those properties and they’re worthless as far as recouping any of the money that I put into the purchase  I have claims at the moment with the FTC in the SEC also have a claim with sender I filled out an affidavit and waiting for them to return with the information  I have to say Preston and his crew really did a bad job on me for I invested my retirement money in these places and I have no chance of recouping any percentage of my investment  I would like to sue these people if it’s all possible I just don’t know how to get started and go about finding a lawyer that would handle the shoot process If anyone out there has any idea as to how I can go about doing this please let me know through this through a post if you would please

@Michael Darten  Most property management agreements have the monthly PM fees based upon a percentage of rents collected.  

It's everyone who realizes they are not capable.And the percentage of folks capable is minute, very minute.

Work out a fair revenue-sharing model, such as a flat lease or percentage of profits, and consider hiring a property manager for oversight.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I suspect a very large percentage of them will desire to stay coastal. 

I'd say my biggest question right now is how to get accurate numbers for when analyzing a deal (specifically insurance and rent) and what's the ideal percentage to use for variable costs?
