I am deciding between Wix and Lead Propeller as they both seem very easy and robust.  

Or is List Source more robust?

The one thing that will not change, is the university is not moving and there will always be a robust rental market, especially with Blinn having such a large presence in BCS.There is a lot of great knowledge here, and it sounds like you have already taken advantage of the resources the BP group has put together.Gig'emRyanClass of '96 and '07

You might have a better cash-on-cash with a smaller down payment, but not necessarily.Also, I must respectfully disagree that a more robust analysis is too academic (although, since I teach this stuff in grad school it would be fair to say that my take on this is, by definition, too academic).

All these tools to some extent exist on many software systems, but the tools aren't as robust.  

Worst case scenario of renting out my current home to pay for the $2200 rental property I will move into:Current home rents for $2200 (worst case) = 1475 income after taxesCurrent Home deductions (as profit above) = 500 (1500 x .33)Current Home Depreciation (@50K value) = 50 (150 x .33)Mortgage Principle Paydown = 480Total Profit = 2505Total Cost (current PITI + new rental) = 4175Net cost of living (Worst case) = 1675/moIf deduction was valued at 200K, then deduction would be 600 x .33 = 200, bringing net living cost to 1525.If rent was increased to 2500, then net cost of living would be 1475.If both rent and depreciation were increased (best case scenario) the net cost of living would be $1325/mo, and I would have the responsibility of being a landlord to a property 1 hour away, but the investment would be safe and robust, with little possibility of losing equity, and some possibility of gaining equity.I know there are other deductions, such as repairs and travel to conduct business.

If you have tenants emailing you with questions, then your CL ad is not robust enough.  

The scope of work you describe is robust and will take many hours to complete.

In some markets, like Chicago, there's still a very robust flipper market and that may well be what you are doing.

(Residential real estate doesn't depreciate -- it at least holds its value)So while investors may break even on a cash basis (perhaps even lose slightly), their tax savings more than make up for it -- especially if they plan on retiring elsewhere & using 1031's to move their eventual capital gains to a lower tax state.Plus they also make their income stream more robust.
