A 1/1 with a 4/2 on top is perfect for the hacker to live in the 1/1 and cash flow on the higher rents.2.

For long term, the main benefit is having someone else pay off the mortgage on an asset while you collect cash flow.

They also stated they only allow three brokers and three cash homebuyer “spots” in any given area, and they only move into areas where they can guarantee at least 600 leads per year.

I had specifically asked for numbers including mortgage payments and they emailed to me.

In my experience that's not actually the case at least in legitimate evictions for non-payment of rent or breach of another part of the lease.  

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

Realistically, one checking account and an accounting system will meet all your needs and keep your business better organized than 7+ bank accounts.If you want to collect bank interest from excess cash, add a savings account.

And mercifully, building wealth is a more important goal than the cash flow, to be sure.

I would rent both units out and should get $350 in passive cash flow. 

Those 7 years were cash positive, but we just weren't making enough cash flow to make it worth the trouble.
