Buy and holds is the key to true wealth with all the benefits of depreciation, appreciation, loan pay down by your tenants, leveraging the equity, cash-flow etc etc, but it often times isn't the active income that pays the bills until you build up a portfolio and even then there's the tenant management or managing your property managers.That's why I'm involved in all 3.

Proper time tracking and logs are critical for demonstrating compliance with this rule.I've only seen one person with a W-2 qualify for reps, and that was from a tax court case where people had to come in in person and attest to his hard work.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Quote from @Josh Jung: surprised you haven't heard of RBP. it's like a mix of services you can offer to your tenants like renters insurance, virtual concierge, etc So the property manager/landlord pays for their renters insurance, and filters?  

We are paying cash to him every week or so when he sends bill. 

There are so many options for LVP now, from lower priced to higher.Yeah, that's not a proper install, you'll have problems.

As of today they stopped paying the interest.

I invite you to perform the exercise and find what your cap ex allocation should be.certainly $50/month for maintenance/cap ex and misc is not enough and this property is definitely cash negative when properly allocating for expenses.  

You must give proper notice before each showing, you must give the renters the opportunity to buy the house first, and the new owner will have to honor their lease if they intend to stay.

If you have no money for down payment do you have teh $2000+ per month to pay the first (then still have to pay the 2nd?)
