3 KEY HIGHLIGHTS
You need 130-150K in cash to start investing in real estate and be able to do it yourself rather than relying on partners or outside investors.
You should factor in 3-5% for maintenance on any deal. If you’re thinking of adding a property manager that would be 8-10% of your rent.
Your debt service coverage ratio needs to be at 1.2 minimum. This means if the mortgage payment, taxes, and insurance cost you $1,000 then your rent should be 1000*1.2= $1,200 at minimum. That being said, you want to strive for a debt service ratio of 1.8-2.2
