Assume there is a way to categorize it, track individual expenses, then have cash-flow reports for income/expense come tax season.Thanks!

Have you made a decent profit / cash flow in this city?

I choose multifam because they have higher cash flow.

I find data on free sites like Zillow extremely helpful for days on market for certain homes, and it allows you to sort by bedrooms to see how long a potential property may sit on the market at this moment (great for comping rent prices in the area as well)if I were to live in the property, I would take advantage of the FHA low down payment option to keep cash in my pocket for Reno costs  Hope this helps!

This is very similar to adjusting DTI if the borrower owns cash flowing rental properties in addition to their primary residence. 

Ive met with sellers who cant go on market because they cannot afford the commissions or don't have enough equity to cover the cash offers flip investors submit.

Hi All - looking to get some advice on how much I should have in cash when seeking a property in North Jersey at 5% down.

The tenant pays me $175 on the side so I'm still cash flowing a few hundred overall.

I would say it is on life support because after refi the negative cash flow necessitates extra reserves.

And pray they don’t steal everything one the way out. 4) Be aware you probably can never kick them out if they keep paying (at least not without 3-6 months of cash relocation fees.) so be prepared for this to be a rental until they decide to move out, not you decide to stop doing it. 5) PLEASE sell.
