So if 100,000 purchase the property has rent of 1,000 a month. 500 rent per month would be 1/2 a percent to purchase price.Sometimes if you buy a property needing rehab in a good area then you get for a reduced price and can hit a 1.5 to 1.7% rent ratio to your all in price.

I also couldn't find a way to message anyone at BP for help about this, because it's not really my preference to broadcast publicly that I want to remove a colleague.  

I'm actually selling 5 long term holds to pay off multiple properties to reduce my work load but increase my net income in 2020 so financing options have opened back up as I hold a HELOC/LOC against every property I own as well.
