I would probably be able to initially get a remote job (=somewhat flexible time) that would pay the bills.I am thinking of putting down enough on each unit to generate the cash-flow to generously cover expenses, and roll that cash-flow into expending the business.As far as I am looking at it the maths and my spreadsheets check out but as the title of this post says, I'm a newbie and would appreciate feedback.Oh, if you are an experienced real estate investor in those areas I mentioned, and can't seem to figure out how to stay organize, scale and automate your business, drop me a line I can probably help.Thanks!

Don't expend your energy establishing a dependency upon others, whether for capital or otherwise.

For example, what is the ratio of rent per dollar expended in each of those situations? 

Buying expendables like letterhead will be expensed in that year as a consumable item.The funds used from your personal account are your initial contributions of capital that total is your first entry for your books and then allocate the expenses accordingly.

As with any business, the amount of resources expended will be taken into consideration.You're probably looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 4% to 4.5% of gross rental income, probably a little higher if any of the factors I mentioned above come into play.If you would like more information about Houston, please get in touch.

@Brian ArmstrongFirst off, 30k in profit should be relative to how much money you have to expend in order to get that.

OR would it behoove us to wait our income increases, continue to save via our day jobs, and reassess when we have greater expendable income, outside of any state assistance?

Let's say I have $5,000 in expendable income from my day job. 

OWNER agrees to reimburse AGENT for any monies which AGENT expends in connection with, or in defense of, any claim, civil or criminal action proceeding, charge or prosecution made, insinuated, or maintained against AGENT, or OWNER and AGENT jointly or severally."

All of them are expendable.
