150k purchase price with 20% down payment and he's financing 120k

120k @ 6% for 15 years is about $1,000

Now you pay tax(no homestead) and insurance(also higher on rental) and you'd be very lucky to stay under $1,350

Any maintenance at all you'd be negative.

I have rentals in BR. I finance with 25% down over 30 years at less than 6%. Last one closed this past June at 4.75%. Bought one a year ago at 4.25%. I pay them off over 15 years bc I pay extra, but have the option to go 30 if they were unrented for a long period of time and cash was tight.
