Assumed expenses increase at 3%, and rent increases 3%, vacancy allowance goes to 1 full month per year after first year, and Property Management expense is calculated at 6% per year of rental income, The single family home price is $165,000 with 50% down payment (because of desired lower risk IRA approach).
