It's the least riskiest way to own income property in my opinion. 

If you need it to be an all-cash investment, how much cash are you willing to put into a deal?

With a strong background in both real estate and lending, I work with a range of clients—investors, builders, and developers—to help them achieve their investment goals.

Build up enough that you can purchase the next house.If you move out of your current house, could you rent your room and create a cash-flowing property? 

Have a weird layout property where the front door is on the 2nd floor and there is a set of wooden stairs to get up there.

If the taxes were increased and the escrows that were collected up to that point were insufficient to cover the new tax bill, then your future mortgage payment will increase by an amount that will cover the new tax bill AND make up for the shortage from the previous payment.

(you do not pay the taxes you lose the house, and you do not pay the insurance the lender will put insurance on the property for you)  Assuming the properties are showing up on your tax returns the income/loss will be calculated from the returns using this form:  https://content.enactmi.com/documents/calculators/Form1038.C...The form will allow you to add back your paper loss of deprecation on your returns as well as your property tax, insurance and mortgage interest deduction as those last three are already taking into account into your payment as mentioned in the first paragraph.

We paid $232,447.36 out to 36+ different trades & vendors for this home.This $232K creates jobs and promotes growth because it is spent and recycled in the economy, creating a ripple effect.Congratulations to the Greatleaf Homes Team for another new construction home closing today!

If your place is uninhabitable, tenants can end the lease or withhold rent until it’s livable, but I like to keep things friendly by offering a temporary rent reduction or helping them find a short-term solution.

I am preparing to buy my first home at auction.
