If you had the down payment, have you done the math for the expected rent, PITI and reserves to see if it would even be a viable investment strategy? 

My simple math suggests that you probably have to shell out $600k in cash (25% down + furnishing, travel, and make ready costs) for the privilege of losing $1,000-$5,000 per month.

It's the odd ones out that probably got a great deal on a property and immediately jumped into just getting good-great cash flow.I would say look at your dollars ($), do the math, make sure your sites are set on not going over your funds ($), make sure the location you are looking at has your criteria and find a property that fits.

I saw all the numbers and decided to do my own math.

You don't want to over improve a brrrr. rough napkin math: 70k purchase price + 46k rehab = 116k all in160k sale price *.92 (8% cc) = 147k147k - 116k = 31k profitSeems like a decent deal if you can sell. 

Curious if anyone can say what this math is telling us?

My husband doesn't sway easily, but when he did the research and the math, it was a no brainer. 

Please provide any thoughts on how to improve my due diligence process.Below is the breakdown of the math I did: 

Math is the best resource.If you have PtR, then RtP = 1/PtR

After doing the math it seems like I'm not getting something.
