And, factor in the depreciation and other tax benefits, deductions, home office, vehicle expenses, etc. 

This is my first personal mortgage so I'm trying to learn the game.

I went back to Memphis last year for the first time in six years to find all is as advertised with very minor exceptions.We have picture inspections done every four months, cost $75, because I'm a trust but verify guy.Good people, good service.   

When you do a little extra work ahead of time, the process goes so much more smoothly.

My first duplex was a turnkey, off market property.

My first loans were at 9% .. 

You can ask piliminary questions to see if an applicant is worth your time too if you don't want applicants always filling out an application before a tour.
