@Sonnie10, it is not every property that have lawn and home association expenses. You will not pay 22% income tax on $12000 income unless you have other income. If you have other income your rental income tax will be marginal rate. Also you don't need property manager unless you have a lot of rental properties that you can't manage yourself.
You also appears to be double counting.
Income tax is not paid on gross income. The income tax in your scenario is paid after deduction of property tax and other expenses.
if you are paying home owner's association fees, why do you need a property manager and pay for the lawn maintenance?
If you have 60K to invest in rental income property. You probably will use it to buy about 4 apartments in combination with mortgage. You don't need property manager to manage up to 10 apartments. By the time you pay property tax, the return on your investment is not on the monthly rent when compare to other investment opportunities. But the appreciation on the property over time. I have some properties with annual rental profit of $300 to $600. However, 7 years return on investment is going to about 65% due to appreciation.
Some of you may say Nigeria return in Nigeria is higher but the peace of mind and security is Higher. The 65% is actually return on the total cost of purchase. The return on your own investment can be up to 300% or more. A friend bought property investment for $500k in 2014 and sold it for about $950000 in 2021. His actual down payment was 6.5%(32.500)
Thank you for breaking it down as it is. When I saw his analysis I laugh in Spanish. Something like, Addendum, lawn, property manager, Home Owners Associations, 22% income tax. first of all, not every State pay State income tax, moreover property tax and some mortgage interest are deductible at the year end income return. Secondly, many county used those property tax to finance their county district school teachers. Their are many thighs attach to property tax is different State of the Union.

I don't think you have lived in one of those HOA fee collecting districts. HOA fee has nothing to do with your individual house, its all about people coming together for their own interest and that of the neighborhood while it is financed by all the home owners. They don't do nothing for your private home.
Please remove mortgage from the equation. The reason is that with mortgage, you might actually end up being in the negative at the end of the year. Let just assume everything to be based on owner financed.
We all understand the last 2-3years increase in property value and wouldn't use that as yardstick.

Your Analysis of own investment house was very interesting

You wrote all the negative of owing property here

All service providers 'humming and ah'ing' about how great this quote is, it's nearly end of the year. It will be mightily hypocritical if you don't look back over the year and mark yourself honestly ...

... have I left any dissatisfied clients out there?
... who have I ridden roughshod over this year?


Then maybe you can try to make good if not too late.

IMO, it's not about carefully curating an online personae as, luckily for you, not every blowback is brought here.

Real world things.

Is it possible to buy a property in USA and be given PR or citizenship?(

A piece of undeveloped land anywhere in Lagos held over 3years would have given you more than 200% return.

I have a condo, I bought it when the housing market was real Bad
Less than $30k the tenant Justin just moved out and was offering $160K
One of the big reason I invested in property was for cash flow
But I am not taking my eyes off property appreciation

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BlushPink: 5:26pm On Dec 06, 2021
Greetings to all the engineers and contributors in the house. I've learnt alot in the last couple of days reading different threads in property section cause as I'll be staying the foundation of my 1 bedroom flat bungalow this week.

I need clarification and info on this.
1. What types/size of granite do I use for foundation concrete
2. The supervisor said 70-80mm thickness is enough for the foundation concrete since I'm not decking or build a storey building as against at least 100mm.
3. For the mix, he said: 1:4:6. (Is this mix good enough?)
4. What's the avarage charge for block setting. And which is better between paying perday or based on the number of blocks used.

Please I'll need your input on this.
