First post on the Bigger Pockets forum, and looking to buy my first investment property.

Just wanted to post a quick intro.

There were other posts about this a while ago.  

I'll post the results once we've got everything setup to see what y'all think.Stay tuned,Aaron

Best thing to do is to call the local housing authority and they can explain some numbers for you and the process (assuming you can get ahold of them).You could always just post the numbers here or in the proper forum and double check it.

All of the things you are stating - like an Air BNB listing, actual rental, postings for rent, etc are great tools to reinforce your intent and use as investment. 

We have posted we have a strict no smoking and no pets policy in our two unit building.

Check out an earlier blog post for tips to strengthen your credit score.

I have found a number of other users posted this question in the forum over the years but I cannot find a resolution anywhere.The way the Rental Property Calculator derives the "Profit if sold" number seems to have an error in it if you are using the function to increase the rental rate and expenses each year.

Wishing you tons of success, keep us posted on your journey!
