Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's how I've been doing my manual math calculations.  

As Account Closed said:  difficulty getting materials secondary to COVID supply chain issues.

This is a simple math question to me, as you’ve already figured out there is no capital gains as you lived there at least 2 of the last five years, so thats an exemption of 250k single, and 500 k married, so thats out. 300k would need to rent for at least at 3k month for me to keep it.

But what is even more exciting is that the move seems to be from the Primary Markets out into the Secondary and Tertiary Markets, a place that we've been advising folks to look at and invest in for years. 

Any thoughts from the math guru's out there approximately how much per year I'd need to put in?

Hi Community, I'm doing the math for the profitability of a rental.

I would love for that to be true, but the math doesn't add up.

Most people I work with live in primary markets (as opposed to Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets) where the Rent-to-Value Ratios are under 1%. 

I typically do the math backwards to figure out when to start. 

My strategy is secondary or tertiary cities.
