I'm a hands-on blue collar type landlord thinking about changing my business model to scale up my number of rentals.

One of the examples i modeled out was a 200K @ 1,600 / month in rent.100% financed (50K HELOC + 150K Mortgage @ 4%) my mortgage payments are 1,040.1,600/month in rent gives me net cash flow of 550.

And growth will start to come back into the new construction model again so that the housing model itself returns to normal.Once that occurs, I think comps will start to move up some too and most areas will see their typical appreciation model come back into play.

I like the concept, seems like it can be a very lucrative business model if done correctly.  

Most renters don't expect staged rentals unless at a complex with a model unit.

Or were they all default cases.Appearing in court 1-2 times per month is something that means the model isn't working IMO.  

They come in straight, wavy and staggered patterns and are modeled after the mass produced original products.

I could see a model where someone pays 1,500 to get trained up and then the instructor uses that person to find more deals.

=o)Without providing our business model or coming off as smug, I'll just say that we buy houses any way we can legally.

I'd go with something like this (definitely adjust it to your business model):15% Tax15% Vacancy and Maintenance50% Pay Yourself20% Set Aside for Future DealsSo if you collect 1000 in rent you'd save $150 for Tax, $150 for 'Maintency' (Vacancy + Maintenance), $500 for you to enjoy that month in your personal account, and set aside $200 to let build until you have enough for the next deal.
