I found a duplex listed for $31thought Each side of the duplex has 3 bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms.

Lost her job, now working for less money etc.Looking at the numbers, I can seek this to her with a payment that is half what it used to be  and still make a very nice return.  

By the way, they have been renting from me for 5 and a half years.

We have been doing this for about a year and a half now and we have been cutting our competition off at the knees....

Owner occupied, rent the other half to see if I am cut for the landlord business.

For SFH or scattered sites, it's usually 8-10%, sometimes 1st month rent or half of 1st months rentFor one-site apartments, it's usually 4% plus all expenses, including their payroll

(I am borrowing almost half, and putting in some of my own cash too.)

Planning is half the battle, so you are well on your way!

Usually someone else's funds would have to be in your account for a period of time of partner B would have to add you to their bank account and then the lender might only accept half of what is in there towards your funds.

They say that they have that worked out now but I'm going to look at it again to see if they have some repairs half done.
