Some of those include tax write-offs and increased return on your investment.

@Ashish AcharyaYes we will contact an attorney, I have some rentals now and am looking to increase my portfolio.

My mind is made up, but thank goodness for this forum and the knowledge I have learned in such a short  time I am now a much more confident landlord in knowing and understanding the TAR contract as well as TAA and my rights etcAlso studying about tenant proofing. 

I’ve been inside the property and I’m confident in my nembers and my strategy.

I will definitely be mentioning it along with the hope of getting pocket listings if any ever come around (but that will probably take some time).That is what I working to do, don't want to take the plunge until I know I feel at least somewhat confident in my decision.

Over time, the interest portion decreases as the loan balance decreases, and the amount applied to principal increases so that the loan is paid off (amortized) in the specified time.amortization scheduleA table which shows how much of each payment will be applied toward principal and how much toward interest over the life of the loan.

We figure we'll at least get close and we added a clause in the lease stating rent increases will happen annually with increased utility bills.

That's going to happen and in most instances it cant be stopped. but there are well known PM on BP that increase these prices more or inflate others.

Now even with appreciation and increased rent inflow - it would still take above 10 years to pay off the loan/interest expenses.

As long as rents are increasing due to a lack of development, rentals will always be needed. 5> Commercial and mixed use (commercial below, apartments upstairs) property.
