Take the rent amount, multiply it by 75%, and make sure that number is higher than your departing residence PITI.- No law says that you can't sell a home with a tenant in it.

When they don't sell the loan to the secondary market and instead, portfolio the loan, that small monthly payment they are forgoing multiplied by 5,000 loans makes that small monthly payment a large monthly payment that they are losing out on.

I figure my return by multiplying monthly cashflow by 12, and dividing by my down payment, so I guess it's annual.

(divide 50 by 12, then take the 15th root, it's 9.98%) The effect of the CoC should be added on top of this, a spreadsheet with IRR function will help.Frank I'm not following, 12000 invested at 10% should earn 1200/year multiplied times 15 years is $18000 right?

Hi, OK, call the assessor and get the tax current liability for the property. divide that by 365 and then multiply that number by the number of days you owned the property, including the date of sale.

It is just a quick guide to look at value, almost like GRM (gross rent multiplier).  

So, as fast as the market was moving, I started buying at retail prices, thinking I could turn these properties over fast enough not to get stuck in the avalanche of an impending real estate crash.

Instead, you need to see the overlooked opportunities that are all around you and act on the vast sums of untapped income and unclaimed success just waiting to be harnessed.You probably spend too little time studying the most successful, innovative and profitable ideas people in other industries use to grow and prosper.Yet, if you start focusing on other industry’s success practices, you’ll be amazed at how easily you can adapt these ideas to your own business situation.Suddenly, you’ll see significantly better ways to produce significantly better results from the same time, manpower, effort, activity, and capital.Vision isn't easy.As a result, most people let the opportunity of a lifetime slip through their fingers & live to regret it; but in this case I could make it easy for you to Not let this one slip away so that you can take advantage of this unique opportunity with zero risk.Instead, you need to see the overlooked opportunities that are all around you and act on the vast sums of untapped income and unclaimed success just waiting to be harnessed.In a recessionary economy like this, some 30 million people could be out of work -- they lost their jobs, got put on shortened work week.Millions will be (or are, right now) aggressively looking for business opportunities they can purchase or start.Though most of them don't have a lot of cash to invest, they still need income, they need work, they need productive activity that makes them money and keeps them feeling worthwhile.I believe there’s not one business owner or startup I’ve ever met in North America (and probably the world) who couldn’t, who shouldn’t broaden their perspective and think about how to grow yourself a small or large business empire.And that can mean nothing more than multiplying the size of your current business many times through external leveraged buyout acquisition activities.Or it can mean multiplying it through a roll up. 

I would divide 180k by 2 then multiply the 90k by lets just say 1% to get the amount of rent i should charge each tenant right?

After I figure that out, my next step would be to multiply by 70%, minus repairs (1352x $5), minus fee?
