My basic underwriting making some standard assumptions on HOA expenses, 20% down, 7% interest rate, 30 year mortgage, utilities, supplies, and maintenance costs shows a loss of about $22k per year if you are self managing.

I am trying to invest in a certain market and I am curious as to how many realtors i should be reaching out to and trying to establish relationships in that particular area.

Does anyone utilize high interest savings accounts for their cash flow.

I also have an investment company that has been established for 10 yrs that I’ve flipped a few properties and hold land in.**** My current issue with the lender that I recently spoke with was that I had to have experience building a SFR on my own property and have sold or refinanced and held in order to be approved for the loan.

I would also contact the tax pros in the header and get their opinion and maybe utilize them for that reason. 

I can's imagine a situation where all 4 tenants have elected to hand wash their clothes and use the dryer (there is no utility sink in the laundry room).Can you think of any reasons why the dryer would be used that much more/washer used that much less?...

The ONLY exception is that a landlord may charge two months' rent if the tenant qualifies for utility assistance, the lease requires the tenant to pay utilities directly to the landlord, and the tenant and landlord agree in writing.

The utility company missed an appointment and no communication from them or action to even reschedule.

In addition to this duplex, I have one other paid off with established LOC, and another nearly paid off.
