Just curious how you guys are analyzing your rental property investments, specifically with regard to investing in existing properties in the form of additions and other improvements that increase monthly cash flow.Do you focus more on monthly cash flow?

Original thought was a year time frame to sell which extended due to time constraints as well as capital constraints - plus it was a cool house just not in an ideal location but the area was improving so the extended time also helped with a better net What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I agree that area is improving and getting more attention these days, and will likely continue to do so with the proximity to downtown. 

It would be super helpful if you could tag your favorite calculator report so it displays at the top. We are under attorney review and have been constantly tweaking the numbers (this will be our first deal if all goes...

As @John Underwood mentioned they should be able to count 75% of the monthly income generated from the property and if that more than covers the properties carrying costs then it would actually improve you DTI %. 

(Not recommended because if it is sold the buyers will check the rental income and your income will be short) That could possibly be explained. 3rd: If the owner is performing maintenance/repairs/improvements this would be calculated in operating costs since no one would be able to live in the space anyway. 

Construct a new Facade to improve the retail floor for public assembly, build-out a new restaurant on the street floor 2003.

@Steve Kim, Currently I am in Gardena and South Los Angeles and both properties are flowing well but the equity is what has improved the most. 

After Principle, Interest, Tax, Insurance, money set aside for Maintenance/improvements, Property Management, Utilities etc, is it cashflowing?

You cannot exchange for improvements on property you already own.
