If you are just starting, I would think on a leveraged purchase, $200 a month in todays market, that is assuming the home is fully renovated and capex items are fairly new.

Other items such as having accounts in a foreign country.If you are single/married, with a few W-2's, interest/dividend accounts with one rental property.
