@Tim Shin I really like the BP calculator for back of the envelope high level estimate, but you're right that every property will have different expense ratios.For example - one of my rentals is a brick home, energy efficient with an older A/C unit.  

Recently I passed the CFA level 1 exam and decided to take a break and I'm spending that amount of time I would be studying for level 2 on learning everything I can about real estate investing, specifically buy and hold and renting out at this point. 

I don't like renting in apt buildings or plexes where the noise level drives me insane.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get started and reach the level you are at?
