ANALYZING PROPERTIES PART 2 QUESTIONS

Since my last post I have been taking action practicing with the rental property calculator  to analyze properties. I have also watched both webinars on analyzing properties (they really helped). However, I am still having trouble with the following  figures and numbers: 

1. Closing cost

2. Points charged by lender

3. Other charges by lender

4. Utilities

5. PMI

6. HOA

7. Insurance

8. Garbage

9. Other monthly expenses

10. Repairs

11. Capital expenditure

12. Annual Income Growth

13. Annual PV Growth

14. Annual Expense Growth

15. Sales Expense

HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:  

A) For each of the above can I find the amounts online or do I have to call the utility/broker/insurance agent/property management company to get estimate figures of each of the items listed above to plug in the calculator?

B)  Since I am trying to look for a rental in LA and LA has so many sub markets do I have to call the utility/broker/insurance agent/property management company to get estimate figures of each of the items listed above to plug in the calculator whenever you switch submarkets?

C) If you do have to call these different people for all these figures then how does Brandon say that the analysis process only take less then 30 min per property?  

D) If you can find these amounts online for your market how do you know that it is accurate?

Thank you,

Jason
