Figured I'd just show the bottom line so to speak. * Flip Payments = Personal cash + all loan repayments received* Income Received = All Loan repayments (this includes payments from my Own capital I put in upfront, so I'm getting my principle back)* Passive Income received = True passive income from the leverage concept.

When I shared the success story that's all that was - maintenance of course you have to factor in but on the raw deal over 4 figures in net cash flow is very good (at least to me). 

The problem with averages is that a large number of high or low value properties can skew the figures either way.

If your doing an FHA and plan to stay in one side you have to figure out what that would benefit you.

A realtor can send you a walk through 360 which can be good enough to get in on some listings to make an offer.Once you make the offer fly out and do a personal walk through and then figure out do you want to self manage or hire a local manager.

Let me figure out how to connect with you first (still super new with BiggerPockets).I would imagine there is a way for us to direct message?

So in lieu of responding directly to the resident(s), I figured I'd touch base with the BP community to provide some insight.

OF course, you may have all this stuff figured out, but the original post was vague.

I figure the ones over 50 or 60 years old have already had all the big ticket items replaced.

Interest rates:  I don't really care where interest rates go--I just want to have some way to figure out where they are going.
