I will second the other comment about utilizing classes to break apart your properties.

Most are in Mpls or St Paul, but you will find some first-tier suburbs with large duplexes.  3-4 plexes are as common as a Vikings Super Bowl outside of the two cities.Within 45 minutes of MSP airport: This will be no problem, everything is within 45 minutes of the airport, especially in multifamily.Areas with a small town/ neighborhood feel are a big plus: South St Paul would have this feel so would Stillwater but that is probably more than 45 minutes from the airport with any level of traffic or bad weather.

My personal belief is that "It is not the software that defines the process, but the process that should define the software" In other words, each and every one of us have a unique business, with unique processes that can utilize software to reduce workload, provide a better customer experience and automate tasks.

Otherwise I would expect the story above is the most common. 

Hi @Joe Tomko The point of utilizing Facebook is to market to your already existing sphere of influence and then expand from there. 

I'm a little leary to think that 6 nights (3 weeks * 2 nights) is going to be enough to cover mortgage, insurance, property tax, maintenance, cleaning, furnishing, 100% of utilities, cable, internet, etc. but maybe I'm all wrong. 

Hi BP community,Has anyone in the Pittsburgh area, specifically serviced by People's Gas, Duq Light or PAWC purchased one of those utility line protection plans and actually had to file a claim?

I always like to start with the rents and reverse engineer it.Current rent $625-25% total (vacancy repairs cap ex management)Assuming tenants pay all utilities $470 left before monthly payment, taxes, insurance -$500(estimated) Monthly mortgage payment & insurance (no tax) for a 15 year loan.OR-$350(estimated) Monthly mortgage payment & insurance (no tax) for a 30 year loan.Depending on what kind of loan you have out15 year loan, cash flow = -$3030 year loan, cash flow = $120This does not take into consideration the rent increases.

Both offers utilized escalation clauses. 

With an FHA I plan on minimal down and then utilize my funds to rehab.
