Cash out: $55,000All money out plus roughly $3,500 in pocket.... principal and interest $767/monthCash flow estimated at roughly: $200/monthMy plan would be to refi around year 4 or so before the adjustable rate kicks in.

I want enough money coming in so the business can sustain itself when issues occur with maintenance or vacancy.If you wanted to do this with only 20% down ($46,000), which is all you need for a conventional loan, here is how the calculations change.Total mortgage + escrow $1,493.33 per month with cashflow reduced to $306.67 per month.I prefer to overestimate purchase price, interest rates, and homeowners’ insurance to be conservative.

(As I navigate my service business, I've realized that there are more lucrative avenues available.

That’s gold in this business!

However, anything that impacts functionality like plumbing, HVAC, or safety issues should be handled before listing to avoid turning off potential renters/buyers.If you’re re planning to lease it, tenants will expect everything to be move-in ready before signing.

But keep in mind room rental is a lot more management intensive so that is something you should budget for if you plan to hire a PM.

Does anyone know about Tupelo for Business?

What is the long term plan for the city and the state?

My father is the trustee and sole beneficiary, and plans to will the house to my wife sister and her.We want to take out a HELOC on the house to invest in real estate (we currently have two properties and are planning to scale up).

Quote from @Tom Enright: Hi Forum, I'm about to close on my first STR and plan on materially participating >100 hours this year as I'll be working on the property and plan to rent it the last 1-2 months of the year.
