You have purchased a property that you intend to rent out to people. The mortgage payment is $765/month and the property taxes are about $4,056/year. What is the least amount that you should charge for rent to come out even? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Monthly mortgage payment multiplied by 12 months in a year.
765*12=9,180.
Add yearly mortgage plus property taxes:
9,180+4,056=13,236
Divide the total by 12 months in a year.
13,236/12=1,103
You should charge $1,103 a month to come out even.

You can also take the property taxes and divide them by 12 (months in a year) 4056/12=338. Then add the monthly mortgage ($765)
765+338= $1,103.

Hope this helps :)
