Adrian Mata, welcome from california.

@Rose Mata my thoughts exactly, didn't reply to him because thought the it would be more productive not to.  

@Adrian Mata I agree that those numbers do not look good for that property but remember that is based on our opinion.  

Laundry mats can end up being just as expensive, and not to mention the time the tenant has to spend at the laundry mat as well.

No mat¬ter what your relationship is to the person, if they will know you by name, then put them on your list of people you know.

I also encourage you to think about amenities that are intentional and thoughtful, like a desk or work station, a small fitness area with a yoga mat, a "library" or bookshelf with reading options, or blending outdoor/indoor living spaces where possible (of course, if your unit allows it).

:So Matt, you are saying you save in mortgage taxes so mat as well buy.
