I currently work in the restaurant industry and a multi-unit manager so data analysis is in my blood.   

The property is nothing but a vessel to attract tenants who pay the rent.

"Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own." - Baron Rothschild "The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets." - John D.

You/Me need to become the absolute experts on this--its your blood sweat & tears. 

Maybe instead of looking at this property as a long term rental, maybe look at this as a vessel to buy more properties.

They're not the ones who sweated blood into the place, so no offense to management companies, but I can't see going above 10% or 15% at most, assuming nothing major happens etc.I will look into those calculators, thanks, good idea.

Investors are a little bit like white blood cells in a city - they clean up the properties nobody wants or is able to take on.

I would trust Theranos with my blood before I ever trust a gator boi with my money! 

I got real estate in my blood or more like concrete.

Make sure your flooring can withstand pee, spilled beer, spilled juice, blood etc...
