@Emanuel Cavallin, you may have better luck posting this in a different forum on the site.

I came across this awesome site while researching real estate investing and the many different topics associated with it.

If you can't find someone on the site, I recommend running numbers on trulia and seeing what pops up there.

It might not be a good return and you might want to see how appreciation is in the area if you are relying on it. 

When advertising a property for rent, I link directly to the listing on that site and prospective tenants pay the $40 fee.

I just started helping a MA investor with his sites...you know what that means right?

But I'd like to run the numbers in the scenario as I move out after 2 years living there to check the cashflow- Financing: owner occupied conventional loan - Downpayment: 5% - Interest rate: 4% - Loan period: 30 years (fixed) - Vacancy of 5%, Repairs of 5%, Capex of 5%, and PM of 10% - I assume I can get 10% discount based on how long it's been on the market (purchase price of $719,100) - I used Realtor.com from the link and based on purchase price of $719,100 it gives me prop tax of $749- I relied on the listing agent data of $92 per month for home insurance - I relied on the listing agent data of $112.50 per month for water, $112.50 for sewage, $95 for garbage, and $60 for lawn care (assuming the tenants pay for their own electricity and gas) - I left PMI to be 0 since I do not know how to calculate this Result: Based on assumptions and MLS listing, this property cashflow -$1,280.00 (aka, a horrible investment).

However, I was wondering if you have recommendations for books or sites that offer basic to intermediate information for those of us starting out and really trying to establish a good base of knowledge.

I can not find a tech problem link on the app or site.

Do you typically rely on a good agent to help you find properties (and if so do you recommend anyone)?
