Example portfolio decisions

Four properties. Sell the one with no rent, keep the three that cash-flow, and put the budget into the next purchases.

Sample book for illustration — not a live portfolio.

On file

$500,000 available, adding $50,000 a year for 5 years. Target $5,000 a month. 100% down, 0% on a new loan, 7% on a refinance.

Game plan

Sell one. Hold three. Buy the next.

  1. 1

    Sell 8201 Fairington Ridge Cir

    List it. That stops an $800 monthly loss and returns about $25,634 after six percent selling costs.

  2. 2

    Keep the three that cash-flow

    1582 Isleworth Cir, 6874 Mahonia Pl, and 1349 Creekview Cir bring in $1,091, $1,127, and $1,263 a month.

  3. 3

    Buy with the $500,000 budget

    Purchase between $100,000 and $200,000, all cash, no new debt, and at least $300 a month in cash flow per deal.

  4. 4

    Reinvest $50,000 a year

    Savings over the five-year timeline fund the next cash purchases and move the book toward $5,000 a month.
