I like all of these scenarios, since my goal is only 4-5k net cash flow per month, seems easy compared to 25k!!

My advice to someone considering a coach would be for them to explain in the most specific terms on how their service benefits them compared to their alternatives.

When comparing my strategy to locking into a 15 year, I feel the benefits of the 30 year with the options far outweigh a couple fractions of a percent of interest.

Lets consider a hypothetical 3/2, recent (<10 years old) SFH is about $80k.Lets assume, for the sake of argument, I pay this.Cost: $80,000Down: $16,000Closing: $2,000Rate: 5%Mortgage (incl Tax): $430Say I even go with a PM: $120/moInsurance: ~$500Rent: $1100 Gross income: $13,200Expenses: $7,100This looks like solid CF to me.But compared to the 2% rule, it seems borderline (1.3%)Doesn't meet the 1/3 rule.Not sure which end of the 50% rule PM fees are taken out of, but with Insurance CF from this metric is thin too.What am I missing?

I only mention the sale price and listing price because I have comparables that show 2 recent sales on the same street, 1 for $90,000 the other $112,000.Also, like I said I have bought and sold Real Estate before.

The tax aspects are onerous compared to buy and hold.

It can be super cheap to set up a simple trust compared to court fees and attorney fees.

Compare the ones that aren't selling to the ones that HAVE sold recently.

I've compared notes with other managers.

The value of the home will be dramatically reduced compared to similar homes in the area since it is in a mobile home park.
