i do not know if its exactaly 50% or not but i do know for example i owned a primary residence in eagle that i paid 340k for and the taxes were about 1700/ yr. 

paid $53,000 Did all the work and made $100,000 7 years ago.I bought it right 2600 square feet. 10 foot ceilings.original flooring and trim with doors.good roof and furnace. need a great agent and contractor both to make real money. 

Hey folks, For the large management groups, have you brought cleaners in house and paid hourly verses using sub contractors?

If something goes wrong out of state you cannot see things on the ground, have zero knowledge of the area, and are utterly dependent on people who get paid by commission to give you honest, disinterested, descriptions (up front as to what you are buying) and advice. 

If I did an FHA loan and paid little down, the mortgage payments would be insanely high right?

I paid her during that same conversation in August.

Some markets have recovered to being at pre-covid levels, but most have not.

I have about 5 more years before building is completely paid off.In these situations I wonder if its better to just sell the building soon or repair.

Here's a summary of my situation as an example: The unit I currently live in would rent for $2200My second unit is currently rented for $2700I rent my garages out for $350For the next duplex I would live in one unit & rent the other for $2200 I currently get paid $80k a year or $6667 per month.75% (2200+2700+2200) + 350 + 6667 = $12342 per month in incomeMy current mortgage is 2950, my next would be 3300, and my student loan is 250 = $6500 total debt.6500/12342 = 52.7% DTI

So YOUR investment of $200,000 is now worth $1 million after 15 years, AND you own an income producing property that is completely paid for!
