Then you can just go to the chat, and analyze the deal, it can even pull CMA and rental estimates, count in the repairs and get you cash-on-cash or cap rate or whatever metrics you need.

@Chris Pratt Since single-family houses with ADUs are not considered commercial properties, they are not priced based on income or cap rate.

Say home improvement and they will send you up to $50k at relatively low rates with no pre-payment penalties and they do not check how you spend the funds.

If I purchased a home locally I’d have to ask well beyond the market rate on rent just to break even.

This is to get your tax deduction at a higher tax rate.  

Good point - At least in FL, since I am licensed I can pay to the other agent's broker legally.We pay the same regardless if it is an RE agent or not, i.e. we pay that same rate to friends, family, current clients, vendors, etc.

If so- what would you rate your work effort (not afraid of work), and the time to close a first deal?

We put together a purchase price, interest rate, insurance cost, and property taxes. 

My easiest, no hassle, lowest expense rentals are the ones where the tenants stay 5 + years, do minor maintenance themselves, call me immediately with any issues so I can fix them before they become much more costly, and agree to annual market adjusted rent rate increases.  

Our occupancy rates have been 65-95% during the peak.
