HomePath tracks offers, but then the agent has to manually enter them to Equator for the Asset Manager to review. 

The amount of information is overwhelming and her financial advisor is filling her with fear about taking the money and using it for real estate - which he equates to flushing it down the toilet due to the high risk.

I only ask because there are a few areas I'm looking at investing in but I'm not even sure if appreciation is in the equation so for now I should probably just bank on steady cash flow.

It seems silly as it really equates to someone having both a full and part-time job, which lots of people do.

I prefer to equate managing tenants to training a new puppy.

& vacancy: $ 144 (16% of rental income)Utilities & Upkeep: $ 0 (Paid by the tenant)What tax percentage should I factor into my equation?

A bonus takes this aspect out of the equation. :)

@Atish Shah - OK, a 1% monthly rent equates to a GRM of 8.3. 

Take the emotions out of the equation and you will NOT get burn

I just bought 2 properties for cash this month, sent bank statements, line of credits, etc. that equated to WELL over 5x what the purchase prices were on the properties.
