I’ve found Bigger Pockets invaluable and educational.

I’m factoring $20,000 out of pocket for this deal; however, since it’s rented through March 2019 the “rehab” money I’m noting ($4,000) shouldn’t be needed until first tenant turnover.

But I will be living in the area for a minimum of 3 years, unless something happens that I need to move, which I do not foresee but life happens.Danny- thank you for the info, and I am getting more into bigger pockets podcast, but they are talking about big money investments more often than not.

But there are pockets around town that pull some strong rental numbers. 

Hello All,My name is Steven M and I am new to Bigger Pockets.

That essentially means either he's paying or I'm paying out of pocket for the differences.

Always network with others and keep learning from listening to the bigger pockets podcasts. 

Hello to the bigger pockets community I have heard so much about!

Have you tried the bigger pockets calculators? 

We've generally had to pay the maintenance out of pocket over the years - an AC compressor, garage door opener, new dishwasher, paint/carpet etc., but spaced out and we had money in savings for those.
