Property not used for primary residence is reduced in the maximum amounts loaned against them.   

If we hadn't purchased the property subject to and brought the mortgage current, the lender would have kissed a bulk of the principal good bye.

I have to replace the AC unit because the builder used a CHEAPO brand, but I got the seller to reduce the price by the cost of the AC Unit. 

At 100 a month increase you are talking 41 months ( a little over 3 1/2 years) to get a positive of the 100 a month back.Now increasing rents and reducing expenses will usually grow your equity and resale price.

Well here's what I figured out, using the first link as an example ($52k triplex, assuming 1 unit is vacant):-TaxesIndianapolis, marion county, 3.13% or $1627 a year, though there's a homeowner deduction that reduces it by half If I live in the house.

These 2 factors will also reduce your returns.Thanks for sharing!

no we charge per property, give discounts for bulk orders, see the site.

Usually, the cost savings they see from reduced time spent on rent collection, reconciliation, and accounting well outweighs the cost of PayNearMe.

This is regarding one of the properties we came across:One of the other properties appears to be a small part of a $1.5 million bulk auction buy.
