I am positioned for growth but there has been no slacking here.

Look at your contributions vs growth.  

It makes no sense for me to be GONE from 7am to 10pm every single day, and hate what I do.I have been researching and reading and watching everything from Bigger Pockets Podcasts and forums to Motivational Speeches and Growth Conferences to DIY shows and books, I would like to buy properties, fix them up and resell them, but I'd also like that passive income that can come from buying, renting and managing my own Multifamily properties.

The numbers made a lot more sense and we were able to continue growth as a result. 

From your original post and replies above, it sounds like you’re on the right track though: let your attorney flex some muscle with the seller/flipper/contractor, and continue to raise hell with the building department, city complaint line, or even local politicians and news outlets.

You describe the area as being a good bet for future growth and for appreciation.

Huntsville has traditionally been a cash flow market, though the recent growth may bring more appreciation potential.   

Somewhat obsessed with growth, streamlining operations for better cashflow, and more growth.

No wait, don’t answer that, i’ll start another thread)Vacancy Buy in markets with strong fundamentals (pop growth, job growth, job diversity) Buy in good quality B class neighborhoods that would maintain renters even in a downturnSave 5% gross rents for vacancySave for inevitable lease up feesRent Prices Drop My numbers predict i could stay in the black even with a 10% drop in rental prices (see example below)Other At time of purchase i set aside 6 months of gross rent in cash, for reservesSample PropertyThis is a sample property is actually more like a higher c class, but i you could move the numbers up higher and see the same thing with a B class SFRPurchase Price: $60,000Closing costs: $4,000Rent $900Vacancy ~ $45(5%)Maintenance ~ $45(5%)Capex ~ $125Op expenses(tax, insurance, lease up, mgmt) ~ $162NOI ~ $522Mortgage: $261Heloc: $68(at current rate) - $160(at highest rate)Cash flow: $193(at current rate) - $101(at highest rate)I'm a little scared to ask this, but better burned on BP then in real life, so here we go.What am i missing or what did i not think of?

I just created an account with Credit Karma so I can keep an eye on my score's growth as I take additional steps to improve it.
