Frequently Asked Questions

Why is cash flow negative at 20% down?

At current 7% interest rates, conventional rentals in California's expensive markets rarely cash-flow positive on day one. Real returns come from appreciation + mortgage paydown + tax benefits + future refinance.

How realistic are the per-room rent figures?

$700-$900/month per room is typical for CSUN-adjacent properties (within walking distance of campus). Verify current market via Zillow Rentals + Padmapper for the specific street.

What about insurance + maintenance — are these realistic?

Insurance: $1,800/year is mid-range for non-fire-zone Northridge. Maintenance: 3% annual reserve is industry-standard, sufficient for typical maintenance + occasional larger repairs.
