Michael,I am really having a hard time finding a site that provides updated and relatively inexpensive 30 60 90 day late lists.Any chance you can point me in the right direction?

I buy  inexpensive cups, silverware etc that is easily damaged or can grow legs.Sheets and towels are good but not terribly expensive to replace.Haven't had much issues with damage. 

I still listed them in expenses below for clarity, but if you’re running your own numbers, don’t double-count them.Operating Expenses (Professionally Managed)Property Management: 10% ($297/month)Maintenance Reserve: 5% ($148/month)Vacancy Allowance: 5% ($148/month)Taxes & Insurance: $559/month (already included in mortgage payment)Total Monthly Operating Costs (excluding double count): About $593If you include them anyway, total would be about $1,152, but again — taxes and insurance are already baked into the payment.Cash Flow SummaryGross Income: $2,965 (current) / $3,300 (market)Operating Expenses (excluding taxes/insurance): $593/monthDebt Service (mortgage + carry): $2,271/monthNet Cash Flow: +$101/month now, +$436/month at market rentsCash-on-Cash Return: 1.9% now, around 8% at market rentsWhy I Still Bought Over MarketEven though I paid about $25K over value, the creative financing saves roughly $10K per year in interest versus a new conventional loan.

Building the most inexpensive single-family house that can be engineered as a one-off build  is one of the last places I would recommend investing money at this time.
