That's before you pay any debt service.To answer your question: No, it's generally not a good idea to lose a bunch of money every month.

Hope it helps.

I took on some debt to prep the property and hope to pay it off this summer—our peak season with lots of river and swimming traffic.It’s a 3-bedroom that currently sleeps 6 (king, queen, and a queen sofa bed).

I hope this was helpful.

I would be happy to connect you with him if you wanted to inquire further.I think 10% is as low as you will find for investment property, unless you purchase an SFR with an ADU or mother-in-law and house hack with a primary home loan.I hope that helps!

Stay in and be part of this 721 or lose my investment most likely.

Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

My plan is to purchase a home that I will hold onto while hoping to gain both forced and time appreciation.

Its much harder to turn a property around in 6 months expecting to have 100% of your money returned back to you - but if you focus on the right property focusing on highest and best use with an ADU add (like mentioned), in-fill/lot split, or other rehabs - then hopefully a semi-decent property like that will perform like a champ in a few years. 

If you are already under lease, candidly you are likely behind the 8 ball as they say, I am hoping you have at least some abated rent while you get the buildout done prior to opening and rent commencing?
