You really have an absolute perfect background to be an investor.

Great Call BryanA month to month is perfect for this situation.

or try to make it perfect to get top dollar.

@Nick Payton , not sure if the 50% rule counts escrow as an after mortgage expense, but here is the breakdown:Mortgage payment: $388Escrow: $237total: $625Expenses:Utilities: $250Maintenance: $1075% vacancy: $70CapEx: $110total: $537We'll see how well those numbers match up with reality in the next few months or so, with these numbers my cash flow is closer to $250 a month than $300, guess I got too excited in my original post =).If Escrow counts towards expenses (taxes and insurance) then I meet the 50% rule for sure.

But to be perfectly honest, I have some concerns when I read that Cayahoga County (Cleveland) has been bleeding population year over year.

I was using Houzz and think I was blessed to find two examples that match my foot prints exactly.

The triumphs (Yes, I did just score a closeout deal on product that actually matches the design and adds $800 to the bottom line) and the Marketing and selling (which is where the fun really begins).

If you were an agent who's call would you rather get...the investor with his creative financing and ruthless concern for the bottom line, or the mold able and sometimes gullible newlyweds that want the perfect house?

Being a condo investor is perfectly fine.

You can have two perfectly honorable parties trying to be fair with each other but when you are not on site you do not know what your contractor finds and pictures don't tell the whole story.
