Quote from @Jinglei Shen: I am building my investment portfolio(duplex) in Ohio Cleveland, a few properties i have analyzed  with net cashflow  around $100 to $290 here is one deal I am analyzingDuplex generates $1590 income /month together,purchase price $123,000rate 7.5%, downpayment 25%5% vacancy, 10% mgm fee, $1400/year insurance,10% capex, 5% maintenance,COC is 8.73%monthly net cash $277this deal meets1% rule, bring in positive cash, my question is it in normal range in Ohio Cleveland market? 

All successful plans are generated this way. 

However, since I am NOT an expert in everything I assign a value for how confident I am in each estimate and use that to generate a LOW and HIGH estimate value.

I like multi family because it should generate cash flow as well as appreciation.

It generates a false sense of urgency for the buyer and they are quicker to pull the trigger on the next one without having their questions answered.

A tax account ensures nothing is accidentally spent elsewhere, and a marketing account makes sure lead generation is always prioritized.From a credit perspective, connecting credit cards to these accounts on autopay helps you manage spending responsibly while playing the credit game.

Indeed, the FAIR ordinance is anything but fair to non-corporate landlords, seemingly punished for investing in rental houses to generate income as an alternative to stocks and bonds.A handful of opportunists likely could learn to exploit these new rules, preying on otherwise law-abiding landlords to obtain legalized shake-down payments.

K-1 losses, generated through depreciation and cost segregation, can often offset distributions during the hold period, minimizing taxable income.

It does not generate the Balance Sheet.

I want to ensure I’m saving appropriately for a down payment and that the property will generate enough income to cover all related costs.Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!
