You’ll want to make sure of the lease amount, the security deposit amount (which HAS to be transferred, ideally at closing IMO), and the ease of cycling the tenant(s) out at your desired time.

I will give you some rough real numbers for a full cycle of buy rent and hold.

It's a vicious cycle that just takes time, and perseverance. 

This allows rents and home prices to continue to rise which will increase returns on investment over a full market cycle.

And then they do not take affect until the beginning of the next cycle of government usually.This in effect has the previous Congress bills affecting the next presidency.

Real estate always goes in cycles, and if you can buy at the bottom of a cycle, it's a good thing.

After each cycle of quarterly activity, all partners shall meet to discuss strategic portfolio planning and needs for capital liquidity.

Retirement accounts are seen as semi-liquid therefore you can only count it at 50-80% during underwriting.5) Did I mention that 401k investment options suck and there are hidden fees in there.6) The 2008 pullback was 7 years ago and market cycles typically are 8-12 years.

Vicious freaking cycle, but because I have a Happy Wife; lets just say, my life ain't unhappy!
