By putting your rental on MLS, it will be marketed to brokers who are incentivized to find someone qualified to fill the vacancy.If you'd like to handle that on your own, you can certainly use Zillow and get plenty of traffic there as well.

I'm a little concerned about the future when Foster is reduced, but like others have pointed out in other forums, that really helped spur growth in other trendy areas. 

I have no knowledge of how that works.Vacancy (10%)Repairs & Maintenance (5%)CapEx (6%)Management Fees (0%)- I’ll be learning from this property, but hope to handle management alone.Future Assumptions: Ultra ConservativeAnnual Income Growth: 1%Annual PV Growth: 1%Annual Expense Growth: 1%This results in $573 in net cash flow per month, which sounds good.

For example my accountant always lets me know when renewals and other forms are due, which he typically handles and only costs me $50 a year, as well as answers plenty of questions that I have.As a word of warning, if you do decide to go through an online company you must be on top of every form filing.

Looking for the long term I know it is wise to not time the market but for the short term cashflow I see the rising interest rates reducing it. 

I'm bad at predicting them and even worse at predicting how society will handle it. 

I would like to structure purchase to reduce down payment when I close or even better to take it to a bank to consider it as a refinance.....NOT PURCHASE WITH DP.

In my experience, when residents have unexpectedly high heating bills, they gripe about it, their ability to pay rent is reduced(leading to a higher eviction rate,) and they tend to leave the apartment at the end of their lease, dramatically increasing turnover.

Better to handle it yourself.

Personally, I would create an amortization table and figure out at what interest rates and amortization periods you can handle the debt service.
