Make sure you're paying attention to taxes and insurance as well!

@Dennis GallagherIt's my understanding that the "Income-Expense Ratio" primarily use operating expenses as the expense variable, which includes costs like utilities, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, property management fees, and trash removal, all of which are considered when calculating a property's operating expense ratio (OER).You calculate OER by dividing the total operating expenses by the gross operating income of a property.

Some strategies to lessen the negative cash flow are: house hack and rent out the other unit as a mid-term rental (to traveling professionals or for people temporarily displaced because of insurance reasons like fire) or short-term rental (business or vacation).

I have a deal set up with an insurance company that uses this for when they have a flood or fire and they have to put their insured somewhere.. 

Invest in a security camera—we had a break-in where someone lived in the house for days and stole appliances, which insurance didn’t cover.

I have an Airbnb and an insurance adjuster who wants to book the place off Airbnb for two months.

Basically scale in paper and challenge it with your personal time, resources, desires, finance, insurance, PM, etc.

So just curious if my number formula is correct $15k down plus $15k Reno = $30k rental income/year  $14500 vacancy rate 2% operating expensive 35% ( to cover condo fees maintenance insurance ect) $5500 a year mortgage so roughly a 12.25% cash on cash return ? 

COLLUDE With Judges like KAREN PHIPPS to case FIX court case outcomes so the public doesn't know their fraud scams that include insurance faked claims with frivolous incident dates of known pre existing conditions putting tenants lives at risk SEE CASE COLUMBUS OHIO FRANKLIN COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS 22CV003620 AND OHIO SUPREME COURT WRITS : 2024 1311,1314,1315,1319,1320,1339,1360,1362,1378,1400,1420,1448,1471,1474,1502,1588,1601See FRANKLIN COUNTY MUNICIPAL COURT cases 2021 EVH 060439 AND 2021 CVG 020711 FAKE AND UNLAWFUL LANDLORD RETALIATION EVICTION BY ALL COUNTY NEO'S  ATTY WHO IS THEIR CLIENT🙄THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT and fraudingI would be careful about labeling an attorney as a fraud on a public forum.

The 70% sounds appetizing but 70% of nothing is still nothing, so make sure you clarify all the financials, insurance for damages, etc.
