Zillow may round, or use data that's a bit off.

So for round numbers, if I had 30k in income on a duplex, and I spend 5k on taxes, taxes would be 16.6% of income.

When can these be used and this is separate from bonus depreciation right?

So, she thinks $300 per month positive cashflow is not worth the effort, however she wants to spend more money on a larger property and and hope it appreciates, that should always be a bonus, not the goal...also, the more you spend on a property typically the cash flow is less.

My year round leases in South County prohibit it.

They wanted a year round place which is hard to find here and I wanted to be sure they had a history of paying their bills.
