What hurts Investors that use this formula is it does not account for Holding Costs, Backend Selling Costs, etc.I use the following formula to determine my Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO).

I collect a convertible "Holding Deposit" for any unit I hold for a tenant - for any length of time.

I am interested in learning more about Buy & Hold rental property investing, especially in specific areas of Ventura County, California and Cleveland/Lakewood, Ohio.

My strategy would be buy, remodel, rent and hold rather than flip them - looking at the cash flow instead of depending on appreciation.It would be difficult to manage a purchase of a property from a broad and tenancy agreement, but even more difficult to manage a remodel!  

Wanted to see if anyone has some tips for simple and effective bookkeeping for buy-and-hold rental properties.

Could someone come in and pay off there first mortgage and act as a private lender for the deal and hold the first note.

Short term, I am looking to get my feet wet, I want to learn as much as I can about rental properties, flipping, and buy and hold to gain enough information to be comfortable with my first deal.Long term, I hope to acquire enough rental property to produce enough passive income that would allow me to spend more time with my wife and newborn baby girl.I would like to thank everyone in advance for your knowledge and time in working with me.

I'm interested in finding ways to invest while keeping my full-time job with the military.I have a little bit of experience with the "buy and hold" strategy, but I would like to explore the idea of partnerships to expand my leverage. 

Now I've found a property that would be the first one that I've bought specifically for a Buy and Hold investment.

I will hold back my tongue and see if this is a good deal or not.
