This allows you to have some built in equity/appreciation.

I’m really on the fence & need some advice.I have a 3 bedroom single family house in Los Angeles, CA that I bought in 2009 right after the crash for $255K.It’s appreciated a lot & I currently have about $200K in equity in the house.

$725 free rental income if all stay full and 100k in equity. ( If he sells everything he gets - 100k - commissions ) largest benefit is getting houses with little of ones own money in and rent pays down dept over time.

Thanks Hey Jared, I'm curious- if you have $800k in equity why not just tap into some of that to fund your next project instead of relying on a bank for an $80k loan?

The public often overlooks the value technology plays in widening the gap of income inequality.  

With all in Equity and getting 24% ROI - that's sick !!  

You invest in this area not for cashflow, but for debt pay down and increase in equity.

The appraisal came in slightly higher than expected and I have just over $100k in equity. 

My goal is to hold the property for at least 10 years and I've had it for 7 already.Here are the numberscurrent 30 yr fixed 5.875 with 23 months to gobalance 75,392payment is 487 117 principal 369 interest.10 year remaining balance would be 56,555New loan30 yr fixed 3.99 int ratestarting balance of 83,000 (high due to points& closing costs wrapped in loan)payment of 395 119 principal 276 interest10 year balance of 51,554The numbers aren't great but I would save $94 a monthand walk away with $5000 more in equity in 10 years.My only upfront cost is $500.Its thru quicken loans, am I being ripped off, I also found out my loan is eligible for harp 2.0 so should I continue my search?

Does anyone have any input for how much a rental property investor is looking for in equity to make it a good deal for him.
