Im a gambler who likes leverage so Id pretend I didn't have the cash and try to put together some seller financed deals and learn how to buy with using as little cash as possible.

But i will tell you, when selling put yourself in the shoes of who you want to buy, pretend your them, where would you then see that offering, what would make you go "hey, look at that".

Call listings and discuss their rentals by pretending to be a tenant.Rent is the one thing you have VERY LITTLE control over. 

I won't pretend to know any more than you since you've been able to successfully pay-off a rather large mortgage and are smart enough to downsize and invest your proceeds.  

The same unit in certain other areas of town would rent for probably $600.If you're trying to figure out how much you can get for a particular rental, just pretend you're looking for a unit like that for rent and search online. 

I'll pretend I am Mike Rossi for a moment:Rent: $850Expenses: $425Mortgage Payment: $673Monthly Loss: $248 OUCH!!

Unless you lied and pretended you had "a client" but actually didn't.

Now, I am in Virginia, and I will not pretend I know exactly how RE transactions are done in NY.

In Texas that would probably get a lady a ride to the local Hoosegow pretty quicklOn the flip side, we have some pretend-conservative busybodies here in NC that bust a fit over breastfeeding in public.

I don't pretend to know that market at all, but a quick browse of online rental sites don't show 2/1 duplex units renting at $750/ea.
