Also regarding STR;   when you get to 3 people arriving, three people with questions, three cleaners and inquiries on top of that it is NOT passive income. 

Pex'd & PVC'd the whole place in 4 days.The the guys hired by the kids arrived to tear out the entire bathroom to the studs & these $10/hr guys swept most of the tear out debris through a hole in the flooring down into the rehabbed laundry, & onto the new tub, new dryer, new washer & HW tank???

I have several cards - I have one dedicated to each property I own - but my favorite is the Barclaycard Arrival Plus MasterCard.  

I am a bit confused as to how this number of 4.5% was arrived as in year 1 it shows -25 and Year2 (-7) % and Year3 and 4 one cannot see here.How does one see for every year instead of just a couple of years which this calculator shows ?

Yes, absolutely.... that clause is in my lease... it's a 3 day notice to vacate in Texas.... i was just trying to give him a reasonable chance of getting somewhere else... as well as keeping his temper down since i do fear for the safety of my other tenants... one of whom just moved in tonight as the sheriff arrived...
