So are you guys saying that if a property is rented for $1000/m in order to cash flow, my mortgage, insurance, vacancy allowance, tax, etc, etc, all have to total to under $500 dollars/m because the other $500(50% of rent) is for upgrades? In other words in the debit section of my analysis form...

Not sure I see where you`re coming from. QUOTE (invst4profit @ May 5 2008, 07:38 AM) Actually Nepoez with expences eating up 50% of your rental income you will be hard pressed getting positive cash flow from $1300 rent on a $165000 purchase.
