Your mortgage has nothing to do with your taxes.Here is a very rough starting point, however the actual calculation will involve more details:1.

It might be overpriced or might be correctly priced but is not generally desirable because of the work involved. 

Once your income is stabilized, you can do a refinance to remove your coborrower back off of the conventional loan. 

I know because I was involved in it with O.C.. 

So I would be happy to speak to this with no sales motive involved. 

When the rent rates stabilize, I suspect they'll bring it back.I wouldn't try it in a location like Portland, but 99% of the country would be fine with a policy like this as long as it is disclosed and applied equally.

I'm at a stage where I really just want to get involved and start buying properties.

., FTC, HUD and others and the FBI does actually get involved to see if there is a pattern.   

While it may not be able to answer technical questions accurately like the number of days for a notice of default, it can educate you on the general steps involved and common pitfalls landlords make.Best of luck!

My point is this, I am actively involved/advising this investor, providing local vendors contacts (handyperson, surveyor, painters, etc) and I "don't wait for them to call me", I call them weekly.
