@Terri O'Brien I recommend looking at cash on cash percentages to compare.

option 1 mortage                                                     3508 monthfront house potential income                2950 monthdifference                                                     $558  month expense to live in 1 bedroom ,currently paying   1858 monthless potential           558 month  savings of               1300 month, x 12 months  = 15,600 annual savings toward the next investment.this is a payout of  558 x 12 = $6690 year Option 2 rent front house     2950 rental incomerent back house      1650. rental incometotal rental income   4600, monthless mortage              3508.positive cash flow     1092.00 month. x 12 months  = 13,104 positive cash flow income. option 1now take that 1092.00 month toward another purchase  in that less expensive market and live rent free....option 2 or use to drop rent at preexisting house 2020.-1092.= 928 rent and two others are paying off your home . that is the options I see in 15 minutes of planning.  

I can do my own separate by-owner business, not using my broker's firm or the local MLS, and my broker is fine with it, but if I want to advertise on the MLS or run anything through my office, I'm limited to 3 properties a year if I am involved as owner, and none if it involves an LLC if I am part owner, any percentage, even 1%. 

The percentage of your house you are renting them will determine the percentage you depreciate and the percentage expenses deductible so for one roommate it is  about the income that it brings in vs your expenses. 

Hey Allison, If you do not mind me asking, what is the percentage of deals you close through these forms of outreach?

Are there any statistics as to what percentage of NPLs with equity go back to the lender?

OR is it this number multiplied by a percentage?

If the flipper is woried about getting there money out to do the next flip use your good credit and partner with them to refinance and you handle the managment and you will get a more secure percentage of the deal to handle property managment.

Avoid Berkeley they have a new rule as of 2017 where only a percentage of homes per street can be rented.

Do you concentrate on the "percentage" offered or do you pay more attention to the actual "dollar amount"?
