last year I bought a 3b2.5ba 1/2 duplex for 100k. I had it rented for $960 within a couple weeks of closing, and did nothing but clean the place. When it rents again I could get $1000, I'm close to the 1% rule. $1100 ...

While reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide I was introduced to the 50% Rule and the 70% Rule, and the 1% Rule I have heard was bumped up to 2%. I like the 70% Rule as a good guide to make sure you are getting a good d...

I'm curious to see if anyone has any feedback for me. Is it appropriate to place the same 50% rule on a property that you purchased for 100k that rents for $1000 vs a property that you purchase for 200k that might ren...
