Initially after management fees, repairs and PMI i was losing about $250 per month.

For me personally I am not handy when it comes to repairs and such.

Built in the last 50 years but before 1990.Currently rented for <$7000 gross but could likely be raised to >$8000.Expenses are as follows:Taxes - $13,000/Yr or ~$1083/MoInsurance - $3100/Yr or ~$260/MoMaintenance, Repairs, Vacancy, Trash Removal - ~$1000/Mo.Now, seller wants 850k & 10% down, interest TBD.

Finding an agent, finding contractors, overseeing repairs, finding a property manager, finding tenants, etc.

This was a few years ago, but at that time as I recall they were looking to do more long-term property leases over owning properties and doing pretty landlord friendly leases where they would do repairs and even pay property taxes. 

We do that all the time for inspections or to make repairs. 

@Derek Buehner Repairs made to your primary residence while living there generally aren’t tax-deductible.

Lets say you have 3 rentals that rent for $1000/month and you cash flow $300/monthEach month you have GROSS rents of $3000/month or let's say $2500/month after paying PM costs, repairs, etc....BEFORE you pay the mortgage.If you get the rents on 1st of the month and you pay down $2500 into the HELOC, but you don't have to pay the mortgage ($1600) until 15th of the month.NOw you have paid down principle in the amount of $2500 for the first 15 days and $900 for the next 15 days.If you use the traditional method, you only have $900 extra money that you may or may not use to pay down your loans.
