Question: Monday, July 16, 2001
For the last 2 yrs I have wanted to purchase a rental property (with 2 incomes) as an investment for my 5 yr old daughter's post grad schooling. I am closing in on a property (finally!) that could pose to be a very good deal but I have some questions about calculating my numbers to determine if this (or any property that I have looked at) could create a positive cash flow. Here is what I factor into the calculation for each month... 1. Mortgage cost 2. Taxes 3. Insurance 4. Hydro/Heating costs 5. Repair fund(I always factor $100/month) for unexpected bills eg.hot water tank appliances/repairs Am I forgeting something that I should also include in the above equation? Any other advice?

In our discussions with our salesperson we learned that we needed to go through with the deal. Now we wonder?
