Do you do agent showings or are you utilizing self-showing technology?

You're not hitting the 1% rule, taxes are relatively high, you're going to be highly leveraged, and paying PMI.I'd make the following adjustments to your analysis:Closing costs look very, very high.

Just remember that higher leverage means a bigger mortgage each month, plus you'll be paying PMI.6 months is not very long.

The one exception is IF you used leverage to buy it, and IF that leverage is still in place when you sell.

The beauty of leveraging the cash value of a maximum overfunded life insurance policy is that the insurance company is investing its assets for the long term so your cash value will capture a long term debt market rate of return.

I’m looking to figure out a way to leverage that into a down payment for real estate.

Leverage is fine for some, but I want to stay in this thing for a long time and want to be sure my strategy works in the good times and in bad.

You get paid by the cashflow, tenant paydown, leveraged appreciation (if you choose), depreciation, and inflation hedge. 

Aside from real estate, I am a marketing data analyst leveraging SQL, excel, and powerbi to provide data insights in my job on a daily basis; an avid traveler; a CrossFit junkie; a loyal sports fan; and a loving husband. 

I'm not saying you should over leverage, just don't ignore everything that you give up when you eschew leverage."
