Hi,I am new to RE Investing and would like to check if following numbers makes sense or am I missing anything:Property Details : 3/2 TownhomeIncome: $2800Expenses = $2700 (approx)Here is the break down.Mortgage + Tax +Insurance = 1800HOA = 265Vacancy = 5 % per month = 140Repairs + Cap Ex = 200PM = 10% per month = 280Total Cash Flow : $100I can get greater cash flow if I manage myself but I am not planning to do it.I am thinking of getting HELOC and buy a new primary residence and rent this one.

The problem is that I can't get a loan - I'm too good at taxes, and don't have enough income to qualify for conventional products, and don't have enough portfolio, cash/flow, or experience to get hard money.
