Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $50,000 An opportunity purchase with low monthly cash flow to help family, receive a larger cash flow when family moves out in a couple years, and earn equity through appreciation.

I report the earnings of all these properties as my personal income.

I can send you my portfolio of finished projects where we earned more than 20%, if you are interested.

If it sits in your bank account earning less than 1% for 30 years, then you might as well go for conventional financing.

$275,000 in earned income - $275,000 in depreciation = $0 in taxable income?

You can work as a part-time agent while earning the full-time W2 income.

:Excellent share, Danette.People often assume (or claim) short-term rentals earn a lot more than long-term rentals.

The Landlord feels they've saved some money and we get to start a relationship that may eventually result in them hiring us for full-time management.As pointed out by @Drew Sygit, there is an opportunity for the PM to cut corners just to earn a quick buck.

Keep expenses down (low vacancy, quality tenants) and costs down and earn 2-3 hundred per month.  

We do not sell for just anyone, we understand that people are investing their hard earned money and we do not play games when it comes to peoples money.
