@Bryan A. is correct -- just be honest.

I am not too concerned about Zillow, Redfin, and Trulia as real estate is local in nature and relationship driven. 

April A. is the most knowledgeable one I know of, and he's down in Southern California, so you might want to engage him to help you do the exchange.

It is never based on some wild eyed, ego driven opinion of self worth or based on what the service provider sees as "earning" what they might get away with.

Underlying your statements is a "I want a $60K income right away".

Therefore, you can use 50% of the Gross Revenues to determine your Rough Expenses, excluding Debt Service.Purchase Price: $200kMortgage Terms:- Principal Amount will Vary depending on the Down Payment- Term: 30 year or 360 months- Rate: 5% FixedPayment will be calculated automatically by the Spreadsheet.Here is the results for BUYER A - the All Cash Buyer:Here is the Results of BUYER B: The 50% Mortgage Buyer:Here is the Results of BUYER C: The 95% Mortgage BUYER or 5% Down BUYER:You can clearly see that: Buyer A is Cashflowing with $1k per month.Buyer B is Cashflowing with $463 per monthBuyer C is NEGATIVE Cashflowing with NEGATIVE $20 per month.So............ unless my calculations are off somewhere, maybe someone can check, to say that an Investment Property is somehow Cashflowing is NOT correct.It's the BUYER that Cashflows.Now, take into consideration that one of the Buyers that needs a Mortgage (B or C) has really bad Credit.
