It'll be intrinsic in a couple of years, the actual debt is an asset itself, so what you're out $1000/annually.

Many people bought relying on rent increases, and now are in big trouble when average rent actually has gone down in many areas. 

However, Is it replacement cost or actual cash value?

I actually have one right now I'm doing. 6 unit with two garages I bought here locally in Central PA.

I live out of state (out of country, actually), and have never lived/rented/landlorded in the US.

When you say "the revenue on Furnished Finder," are you referring to what other operators are actually listing their properties for or the amount FF is suggesting you charge in their landlord resources?

You can't 'cuz you just don't have the ability.I’m talking about more licensing purposes than actual work completed.

If you are 100% sure you'll move there then I don't hate having a property lined up, as long as you swing it. 100/month isn't going to actually cash flow.

Watch out for adults renting for their kid's youth group and the actual renter is not even there, just unsupervised 17 year old football players and cheerleaders.One thing to consider in buying a house is emergency response. 

I have been successful getting ROW and actual city streets abandoned and removed. what needs to happen is everyone who benefits from the ROW has to sign off if that cant happen then it wont be removed.. the property it serves you cant leave land locked either .. dont know your situation but its worth exploring.
