I was just concerned that taxes would be something like $10k for a $50k property because my other income earned in Texas would be counted...

You count this regardless of if you self-managePrinciple + Interest + taxes is $1,066 = $12,792 annual$100 * 12 = $1,200 for water$19,200 - $22,680 = ($3,480) annually, a loss of cash.OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:Depreciation will be $200,000/27.5 years = $7,273. 

I have also heard of relocation assistance packages with short sales up to 25,000 or 30,000 in some cases although the amounts are usually less.A smart tenant will count if it is 4 months before they get me out at 1,400 a month that is 5,600 plus I will need first months rent at the new place and security deposit with moving costs and time away from my job.All that will approach cash for keys at 10,000 and the tenant would need to find a place they like just as much as where they are living now.

Zillow uses the total square feet for its algorithm and not adjusted total square feet (finished basements count as 50% of above grade SW footage and unfinished basements count at 25%).For rental comps, try rentometer.com (free).

First floor, who is the root of the problem, has not paid us the money she was supposed to have paid us by March 1st for the oil that was in the tank when she moved in, but I don't think that can be counted as non-payment of rent for the purposes of eviction.  

When purchasing a property from a motivated seller or wholesaler for "cash," can I again use private or hard money to count as "cash" for the purchase?

Would this count as a short sale?

You may have counted that in your fixed costs, but I have found I seem to always forget about that till the end. 

Your answer to that question should also apply to your scenario of sacrificing cash flow to crash debt on one property vs building up cash flow to apply as down payments on other properties....or potentially just spending on something else i guess.While most of the people would prefer more properties and debt, that requires a long term hold, careful cash management and less, if any emphasis on future appreciation....at least in terms of counting on any.  

I suggest you keep a running count of how many times they mention or allude to what you will learn in the next level.
