May have been a fairly hefty charge involved, something like $100 up to $250.

My cash flow analysis needs to consider....Cash Flow = Rent - Debt Service (Princ and Int) - All other expenses (est at 50% of Rent)So if you do a little math and want to figure a rough break even point on either the rent or the debt service, you can set cash flow = 0 and solve for one of the other variables.e.g. 0 = Rent - Debt Svc - 0.5 Rent 0 = 0.5 Rent - Debt SvcConcluding that .....Debt Svc = 0.5 Rent OR Rent = 2 Debt SvcSolving for rent will tell you what you need to charge given the acquisition cost of the home in order to break even.

There's never a charge when lending a hand other than asking you to "pay it forward"Good job Skip!

Depending on location a lender will charge upfront points and include interest only payments that are due each month for the term of the loan.
