He met up with me at the condo ( made him get the comps of the last 3 mo because the market was mocing so fast ).

He is quoting me at $12K for a new 5 ton unit and labor.

I'm thinking there's not enough meat on the bone with this one to make it work.

Looked really nice at selling time.The owner is willing to sell this condo to me at $415k as-is.

Should I call another brokerage and get someone to represent me at the showing?  

A mortgage calculator put me at 2100 with tax's/fees for the home i was looking at, with the rental income i am comfortable with that but will lenders be OK with that?

If I am completely true to Dave Ramsey's Philosophy, it will take me at least six years to cash-flow a rental (based on my current budget, and a loose prediction of the future condo/TH prices in my area).Though I understand the risks of borrowing, I am too naive to know the rewards.

Also, if there is a moment of silence when a good question is probed, for example, the answer needs to be thoroughly analyzed.

Just an observation I've made overall, though from a landlord perspective it does not affect me at all generally.I just dislike that the current environment rewards you for doing less and being more and more careless with your time and abilities and just leeching taxpayer money.

I got the property at a price that made the numbers work for me at the current rent and kept it the same for her.
