By math I mean I took my counties average property tax rate at 2% and multiplied it by the asking price of the property.

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.

I think they were putting the value so high because the agent assumed it was 10k ft. he just multiplied that by the avg. sales price. 

Those relationships can have a multiplier on the capital you have available.

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.

In order to arrive at an estimated value of tax deductions for a rental property would you:A) Add up your annual depreciation, operating expenses and mortgage interest and then multiply that amount by your current tax bracket for actual cash value.

I have 1 rental property that has significant equity and I am looking to multiply my investment.

On an MLS, if the gross rent multiplier is listed at zero, it could be the data was not entered, that the property is not rented or the information is not known....that's my guess.

I find it enough to try and find qualified tenants, bring and maintain the property to a quality place for my tenants, do everything with honesty and integrity, minimize liability, get paid, and multiply this over a few properties.

I give them kudos about being relatively early on the scene, though it seems like options are multiplying.
