Do they plan on getting income? 

My current rent is $2300 at my apartment and I'm assuming the $2300-$2500 liability will be consistent in this property given the Purchase price, interest rate, and including rental income of $2000-$2200 of the other unit.

They always have capital outlay for months (sometimes many months) before any income (time value of money).  

Not sure if I’m kidding myself either  but I want additional income streams and I want them to grow over time.  

I am scared to pull money out of my home unless it is generating income in which it will this year.

Your rentals should only perform better over time as rental income increases faster than property taxes, insurance and other expenses.How much will that contribute to your retirement income?

Simply plug in your Income, Expenses, and a few Cash Flow items and let the template do the rest.  

These plans are beautiful inventories of zoning, demographics, income, traffic patterns, etc. but now what?

If the appraiser believes the income approach is necessary for credible assignment results, then the income approach must be included.

I dont have the full purchase price of this 4plex to invest though, so I would have to finance half to 2/3 which seems like a stumbling block. i can still make the numbers work, but at a much lesser monthly profit i suppose. i also dont have the w2 income to support 2 mortgages (counting the one i have on my house), so i assume any bank would have to count the existing leases towards my income which i understand is possibleI guess I was wondering about advice, or red flags, anything, on this specific deal.
