Just like everything else out there today with all this money floating around.

The husband and wife made equal amounts and neither can afford to float it on their own.

These have become much more scarce, and the rate floats.

Once we opened the lid, all the wipes were floating in the scum layer, they will never break down.

For SFH and small multis, I just do my own thing.Specifically:25% down = $68,750$3600/mo = $43,200/yrAnnual P&I = $12,600/yr (assume 4.25%, 30y fixed)OpEx  = $21,600/yr assume 50% per the general rule of thumb I see floating around these forums (mgmt fee, repairs & maintenance, vacancy, insurance, snow removal, etc). 

You've got 14 days to float the cash.And if you don't escrow, you on pay twice a year, here it's June & September so even more of a float.I guess we all get nervous because a lot of renters have sub-par credit scores.

Begs the question of the hardwood flooring that also can be floating?!?

I don't want to account for a check that's floating around for long periods of time, particularly when it may result in additional problems down the road (e.g. lost or stolen).

glad you catch my drift!

Maybe you've seen this article floating around the Internet this week about the tenant whose landlord sent them the rent in an editable Word Document, so he slipped in his own clause.Now, this is funny, and I were the landlord, I would take this as a lesson learned and buy them a cake for their birthday for as long as they were tenants.
