For example, 1 year newer property is equivalent to +1,000 in asking price...etc.

I don't plan to be profitable during a downturn, I just need to survive through it the last is cash or equivalent.

When conducting analysis on a rental property, what would be the "2% rule" equivalent for multi-unit properties?

Idaho is one of the few states that don't offer an electronic equivalent to a registry of deeds; you will need to physically visit the courthouse to pull the information.Sorry...Regards,Scott MillerOriginally posted by "Tyro":Does anyone have a link for Ada County, Idaho?

Is there an equivalent of HAR.com for other states?

Real estate is easy by comparison to almost any other way to make an equivalent living.

I would argue that I will save on vacancy and property management due to the relationship to the tenant, that might make it look a lot closer to the $1850 on an equivalent basis.  

If you want to be conservative then you can put more down, but leverage is what makes real estate so attractive so I would focus on that as much as possible but keep cash or cash equivalents in reserve so you can deal with any issues that come up. 

The fee appears to equate to an approximate bump from 7% to an equivalent 8% in management fees.  

@Ali Boone - that's correct, Canadians don't have LLCs but we have corporations, i believe thats the equivalent?
