If it's a bank owned property or a recent acquisition where they have started and turned around I do not count the numbers either as the model hasn't been proven over time to be sustainable at the income levels they are projecting.

Many are selling their assets and downsizing to sustain their retirements.

You want it to cash flow in a sustainable way.

Australia Could Reach 90% Renewables by 2040: ForecastAustralia could reach 90% renewables by 2040 if it added 1.9GW of solar photovoltaic generating capacity per year, according to a forecast by Andrew Blakers, director for Sustainable Energy Systems at the Australian National University, which he said was conservative.

I was saying when I was investing in ATL back in 2011 that the hedge funds really did not understand what they were buying.. and that is proving the casemany started in these type of neighborhoods then pivoted  IE all the competition we suddenly had in Henry county for the nicer stock.its just reality of the tenant base coming home to roust .. does not matter were your at in the country the story is the same.in many of these areas I see in the country you have commercial properties that were vacated years ago and just gone fallow with the owners taking complete wipe outs.. retail not sustainable for other reasons like theft bad checks etc etc.. so they just close down never to return

That really resonated in me.So..Every day I will try to assign a task and give a deadline.

I agree with what everyone here says about the payments affecting your debt to income, but if your income can sustain the hit, and the property can generate enough income to payoff the extra payment, I say go for it.I say this because it sounds like you use the truck for work, and also it will be beneficial to have the truck if you need to do rehab work. my only question, have you considered getting a slightly used one?
