Originally posted by @Chaim Rosenstadt:Hiusing a 100K property as an example (turnkey), with a 25 year loan, 76K, 5.6% p.a. that would mean the first year roughly 4K interest, and the depreciation would be 100k/27.5=3.6K, so total 7.6K - 630 USD/month.Now did I understand correctly that the 630 $ should taken out against the monthly cashflow without a loan, not including vacancy, capex ?

I want to point with the property manager living on a reduced rent, maybe test them first - hire them and watch their work ethics and performance for at least six months.

Originally, I was trying to run my numbers so that I was financing the amount I needed plus the 20% equity, meaning finance $125,000 so that I could pay myself back the $100,000 and have that 20% equity, but the more I thought about it, this didn't make sense.
