Grind it out, door knocking, handing out your business card to other parents at your kids soccer games, telling everybody you meet what you do, getting a client, working super hard for them so you have no time for e farming so your lead gen stops, then starting it up again once you're done with that client.  

Nice to 'e-meet' you allKamil

I would raise your total projected maintenance + capex costs from $200/mo to $300/mo to fit with the convention recommended by many successful R/E investors (each is 10% of gross monthly income).Good luck with everything and let us know how it all goes!

Sincerely,E.

HI Paulette, go to the site wendypatton(dot)com  She has a free e-book on sandwich lease options that will shed some light on the subject.

Wrestling with the various categories, running your own metrics in Excel, and matching things up with Schedule E at tax time will open your eyes to all sorts of operational details you might otherwise miss.As you grow and add more properties, there are some great cloud-based "rental property tracking" solutions available at very reasonable monthly fees.
