Payments Thank you in advance, and I apologize for the vague question.

I apologize if this is such a basic question (starting to learn) but - I have some bookmarks I plan on reviewing (which landed me here) that talks about how to calculate whether a property is good as a real estate investment (rental property) - including how much you should put down towards the down payment.But - how does that thinking compare/differ with your own primary residence?  

I apologize for the bad formatting it’s tough with the BP quotes.

Thank you in advance and I apologize for the long post!

Doug,I apologize about the name early!

I make no apologies here, but I would in a heartbeat if I was beating someone up for the sake of beating them up.

@Sarah Castor I am going to have to apologize for the persons who are obviously not qualified to give such responses because from what I read here is all flat WRONG answers with exception to @Bruce Lynn who was spot on, showing himself an experienced Broker. 

Sorry for my ignorance.Nothing to apologize for!

Apologies for those that have seen this already :). 

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but if you sink money into the place and they come back within the year redemption period, I'm assuming you'd get the money back that you paid for it, but not what you've spent on rehab.
