I think our main barrier is being timid to jump in.

--Take out the HELOC on the rental and my stockpiled cash and pay off the mortgage on my main home in full and call it a day until the crash comes along when I will have likely saved up more money and have equity in my home, but of an unknown amount.

My main goal in real estate is to obtain consistent cash flow in order to have financial freedom through long term rental properties.

Acting on that deal depends on a number of factors for me.  

Net $620 or $155 per door, meets Brandon's $100 minimum per door.However, based upon the post, I don't think all the expenses are factored in.Terry

coincidentally they all have appreciated as well.I mainly look for duplexes as they cash flow better than a SFH, and good tenant quality is not hard to achieve.  

Two big expenses that really factor into decision making.

But how do I factor in the potential of adding units?

Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating (VA, automated offers, etc.)

Inspection deadline is tomorrow.Thanks again everyone :)___For Context, boiler details:Approximate capacity: 105,000 BTU/hrEfficiency: ConventionalExhaust venting method: Natural draftApproximate age: 38 years 39 years 40 years 41 years Near end of life expectancy Typical life expectancy: Boiler (cast iron) 25 to 50 years Main fuel shut off at:  MeterFailure probability: Medium Supply temperature: 180°F The following issues were noted at the time of the inspection: 1.
