Hey @James Boddy.

@James Wise I've never done any partnerships, so I probably won't be able to offer any good advice.

And, James, thanks for that tip - I'll definitely keep that in mind as I move forward.Also, I definitely plan to honor the current lease agreement, I just wondered how to approach raising the rent when the lease was up, or how I can check the background of the current tenants so I know whether they are reliable.Here are some of the other numbers that I was able to track down today:Insurance: $692/year through one bank that I talked toTaxes: 567.76/year for 2013Using these numbers and an online mortgage calculator I came up with $262 for the monthly mortgage payment for a conventional loan.

When do you plan to do another one James?

@James Vermillion Thanks - glad to be back @Mark Ferguson Thanks @Charmaine Marizan Thanks, i see you're from Queens, maybe we chat at some point.Have a great day guys!!!!

@James Wise I will definitely agree with you that there are plenty houses in Akron that have solid opportunities, however not the best option for my situation with wanting to live in them.
