Ken Lucente, United States Postal Inspector along with the FBI have an excellent case against these guys and I do want to see them put away for their crimes, but I am concentrating on the civil end, getting our money back!

Sure it's great to turn a profit on a rental but you want to first make sure that all your expenses including the mortgage are covered.Any quick rental research will give you the formulas for calculating Net Operating Income (NOI), Capitization Cost (how to find it based on sales in the area), and how to justify a purchase price given the current rental rates.It's less important to worry about HOW much your making and instead making sure that you dont have to keep track of HOW much you're losing.Unfortunately this business is designed around research which is why so many people don't do well.

We have been looking into different designs.

Being retired now we concentrate on our small cabin rental business.
