Just a heads up as of DATE ABC Management is taking over as my property management company. 

I personally did the comparison myself and for my situation (I got 2.25% on my FHA loan with ~82% LTV), my MIP won't need to be paid after the 11th year and I would come out ahead financially in all scenarios (in the beginning because I put less than 25% down, and in the end because my monthly payments would be lower for 19 out of 30 years due to the eliminated MIP after the 11th year).

@Anthony BuccaneroWe are about four years ahead of you and it's been great for our family.

You should be looking for a mentor that is light years ahead of you that can mentor you and accelerate your growth.

He usually posts about it a week or so ahead.

It will take me a little more than 3 years to break even, but looking at the number for 10 years I will be ahead by 7 x $167,000 = $1,169,000 and in 15 years I will be ahead by $2,505,000 without getting loans and with less risks of having my real estate empire crash like a set of dominoes.T

Click my website link in my signature and look at my rentals to see how we've listed some basic requirements.Showings: try to avoid running back and forth for showings.

Data shows that investors are putting properties up for sale to get ahead of proposed tax rate increases and possibly the elimination of capital gains protections.

They generally list ahead of time and sometimes even offer the buyer the opportunity to pick some finishes if they commit early enough in the project.  

I will be debt free and well "ahead" of the curve per my age bracket so far as net worth is concerned.
