John it doesn't change the equation. like i said it still doesn't change the fact that you have 180K of dead equity in your primary resident. it's great that you got it for half the price, but you have value in the house that is just sitting there and you can't utilize until you either sell the house or refinance it. 

You really have to take them on a case-by-case basis and determine the pay-back period.As far as PV goes, it's not worth the expense unless you have landlord-paid utilities to offset.

Tenants pay all utilities so expenses are low on these units.

I do not think I would have purchased my first rental, let alone expanded to five, if it wasn't for expanding my knowledge regularly utilizing bigger pockets. 

Some of your costs like utility, insurance, tax expense will go up with inflation, but so will your rent. 

Specifically, taxes and utilities vary so much depending on the town and property, that you really need actuals to accurately analyze a property.

I am able to utilize working in a major city as a hiring perk in a relocation to South Carolina.

@George Aston I would be happy to show you how my wife and I utilized a HELOC to pay down our home in 1/4 the time then a traditional mortgage!

@Jason L.You're missing CapEx (7.5%)Management  is probably going to be 10%What about utilities?

Due to circumstances I ended up making this move sooner than I planned so long story short I now need to utilize the house flipping for living income.
