I do not claim I am an expert but I do not think anybody has a crystal ball as to what the market is going to do in the next few years so I do not like to account for appreciation when I do not know if it will ever come.

An experienced buyer doesn't have "shiny ball syndrome" this means they will not be enticed by the $7,560 a month, they will want to know what's this property going to cost during their projected holding period.

Either way the numbers definitely Work to support what I want to do for a start and get this ball rolling!

It's a bit of leg-work but that should be all the tools you need to get the ball rolling!

I think, if this was something that I was considering doing, I would look at this approach and the snow ball method to figure out my course.
