If I do choose to rent my house out, after Cap Xs, PM, taxes and the mortgage I would come out nearly even, with no real cash flow and feel that it would be wiser to buy a cash-flowing rental in a more suitable market.I just got orders to Annapolis, MD and the market there is even more expense than Virginia Beach.  

I use a mid-sized local bank that is a "portfolio lender" and the only stipulation is there's a $$ cap on what they will lend any one individual (including any LLC they're a member of).  

Mortgage, cap ex, vacancy, repairs, management?? 

They have to recapture all depreciation in the year of sale, even if seller-financed and the payments will be part return of cost basis, part interest and part cap gain.  

At least do what you can to slow down the major cap-ex expenses like plumbing, roofs, HVAC, etc.  

It's almost a losing proposition to invest in flat and declining markets only to see cap-ex comes due and your cash flow is not enough to pay for the cap-ex.

10 CAP, SE inner loop.
