  • This  Property is a Dynamic resuable template of a property that we can buy multiple copies of using  Rules.
  • This  Property is a Nomad™ property that you live in until you buy your next owner-occupant property. When you buy your next Nomad™ property, this one becomes a rental.
  • This  Property uses dynamic  Rules to determine when we buy/sell it in the  Scenario.
  • Account for down payment, income and expenses for this  Property:  All-In-One Account
  • $200,000 property value and purchase price and it goes up at a rate of 3% per year.
  • 0% of purchase price for down payment.
  • 0% of purchase price in closing costs at time of purchase.
  • No seller concessions.
