I will use the data you provide to me to run the pro forma noted above which will give you the information I believe you are looking for.

Hi all, I'm looking to invest in my first property -- looking to see if this passes litmus test.

Data is pointing to increasing inflation, and the stock market continues to be irrational & exuberant, making many investors fearful of a correction.

You can look online for a low of growth/appreciation data with sites such as city-data.com, US Census, as well as Niche.com to figure out your best market and find out the total investment from there. 

@Rick Reeder and @Sam Raj    I have protested my property taxes in multiple jurisdictions and while Texas may be a non-disclosure state, they have all used MLS data and present that to you in the proceedings.   

The markets are hot everywhere, boots on the ground, eyes and ears, and personal experience along with smell, sniff, and eye tests are what will make real money moving forward, not another way for people to be investors without doing the work.

I've also considered doing a "test run" with an SFR in the Cleveland area and if that does not work, simply converting the unit to long-term and adding it to my existing portfolio.  

I've used Stessa for a couple of years but I'm transitioning everything to QBO now due to my personal bank feeds constantly breaking in Stessa and causing a ton of unnecessary manual data entry.

@Justin Waller The IRS has a "facts and circumstances" test to determine what is your main home.

I have an excel sheet that I use to put in all of the data when looking at a deal to evaluate if it's worth purchasing.
