This year seems to be similar for me. Trying to pay down debt and/or paying big expenditures off right away so I don't accrue anymore. Leaves less capital to invest sadly so the growth isn't as high as it could be. But as long as there is still something coming in or some kind of growth, we are moving in the right direction.

What type of loan did you get to where your PMI drops off at 78%?<br /><br />As to your question, I do count my equity gains, but not on my passive income reports. I count those under what I call "total earnings." I only talk about it and report it on my individual properties' pages.

I'll always be exactly honest with what is happening. I think the folks who read my site will quickly be able to see that my Colorado property is great, North Carolina looks like it WILL be great, and Missouri has been a total dud for the last few years. I'm thinking I'm moving in the right direction (as you say), so thanks for the encouragement!

So my cash flow went from around $330/mo down to about $267/mo.

You are building up a nice future for yourself with those rentals. Always love to read the real world results of property owners. Your monthly updates highlight that rentals isn't all about "collecting checks." There's work, unexpected expenses that come up and lots of patience to build up that equity over time. Keep it up. You are headed in the right direction.DivHuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437642929198374070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332513014423909278.post-73948115903621870422017-05-06T18:36:58.238-07:002017-05-06T18:36:58.238-07:00Thanks for the update.

The only downside to including it as dividend income is that next year, if you don't get a similar escrow check, your year-over-year change won't look that good. Love the rental income and congrats on almost being debt free!!<br /><br />ScottTwo Investinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610162425377829601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332513014423909278.post-71928018512326060692017-05-06T17:13:15.977-07:002017-05-06T17:13:15.977-07:00Nice as much as you knock it you still own 2 poten...Nice as much as you knock it you still own 2 potential rental properties.

And so I think we shouldn't be gripping what we have too tightly. <br /><br />And to be completely honest, we're all going to die (this is a fact), and we won't be taking any of these earthly possessions with us. So perhaps there are more important things.
