Hows it the biggest change to the industry in a century...when literally 25 years ago the MLS was not on the internet, and thus commissions not easily discernible from going to an online MLS.Literally we are just going back to something that existed in the industry not that long ago.

The owner pays for all the bills currently 575 per unit, which include water, electricity, internet, and cable.

Hello everyone,I'm finally graduating from listening to podcasts and casual internet/Zillow searches to jumping feet-first into real estate investment.

I would like to get a fairly accurate figures for my modelThanks much Hi Marinta,For a 2 BR unit at Beach Villas @ Ko'olina, here are some expenses:Monthly AOAO Dues:  Approximately $2200/mo and it includes:  Cable TV, Internet Service, Other Common Expenses, Sewer, WaterElectricity:  Varies but I'd estimate $200-$300/mo.Property taxes:  Around $2k/moCleaning:  Around $200 per cleanMaintenance - minimal as units are very well maintained.  

Holding onto a property merely for tax considerations is a dangerous gamble.

. ■ Mortgage ( 20% down so no PMI ) ■ HOA■ Electricity ■ Gas ( None because new construction house has electric stove ) (Everything is electric )■ Water Bill ■ Camera Security system ■ internet ■ Lawn Care■ Regular Maintenance □ Will I need to pay for " Trash " ?

This is investing, not gambling.
