Nick Portillo HELOC - Should I Get One for my First Buy n Hold Property??
12 December 2016 | 3 replies

17 December 2016 | 12 replies
One way to look at is that the IRS knows we need those accounts, and that's why we get the depreciation deduction.In terms of cash flow per unit, I only do small multi families, so I can't speak for large apartment buildings, but depending on acquisition costs, anything less than $400 per unit per month in cashflow (after maintenance, vacancy, and CapEX) wouldn't really make sense for me in my market.
