I own a home in Beavercreek and I'll be selling it when I have to move in a half a year because the rents would barely cover the mortgage/taxes/insurance.

Probably your dad like many owners sucked out the cash flow over decades and did patchwork repairs instead of maintaining to a (sell ready) standard.

Best thing to do is hire a licensed and insured plumbing contractor who knows and understands the local building codes and ordinances to perform the work properly.

Did you purchase buyer's title insurance?

The cash flow meets my standards.

Interest Rates: Everyone wants a standard answer but in all truthfulness, the interest rate actually issued is tied to many things so don’t be surprised when the lender responds to your question with “That depends” Property Types: Do they lend on what you are purchasing?

Direct expenses can be deducted in full (such as advertising and tenant screening), while indirect expenses have to be split proportionally between personal and business use (such as utilities, insurance, etc.). 

Insurance paid claim.  

I work anywhere between 20-40 hrs. a week at an average of $12 an hour, with the only 'overhead' I have being car insurance.

insurance estimated to be around $25 a monthRepairs estimated at $100 an monthCap X I put at $200 a monthand I included property management just in case i decide to go that route at $170 a month.Zillow says the mortgage would be about $188 a month That would put a total of $1003 a month in expenses and 1200 a month in rentcash flow would be $197 a month if all the calculations make sense.total cash needed would be $11,880.
