@Mark Fries Also, if you cover the St. Augustine area, let's connect and chat offline. Would love to know a solid contractor in the area who understands rental investments. We have 3 units in St. Augustine. Getting lots of work done now, but still lots of work to do. Cheers! Jason

I'm about to close on a 3 fam property in St Augustine that currently has tenants. I will need to issue new leases so am looking for a lawyer knowledgeable in local landlord/tenant law (Florida, specifically St Augustine in St Johns County) that can help me craft the best possible lease. I have a few things I'd love to include in addition to the standard one available on BP but want to make sure what I'm including is OK/advisable. Any leads?

I complete forgot! 

#6! There is no ability to roll the rehab costs into the initial hard money loan amount!!! When you enter the rehab costs, it shows as "cash needed at close" instead of allowing you to roll it into the loan - which most people do! Which Brandon preaches!!! If I cant roll it into the loan, the interest number it spits out is completely WRONG unless i go back and remove the rehab amount and simply add it to the loan itself - which means I cant see the numbers separately. Which again, is not helpful. 

What else have I missed?

I think the BRRRR report is a good place to start, but it is missing A LOT of the important metrics the pros (like @Brandonturner ) use to define successful deals. So I find it really lacking for what it portends to do.

1.) Refinance Numbers: There are no fields that define what the expected LTV is. This impacts your cash out number(s) significantly. If it bank gives me 80% LTV vs. 75% or 70% LTV my cash out will change. As will my monthly net return.

2.) Cash Out After Refi: This is NO WHERE. It only shows you your cash IN after refi. So If I do a cash out refi after hard money, and net positive, you have to run those numbers separately. If they address #1, then it should/would yield #2. 

3.) The Inf% is kinda lame. I get that its is good thing, and a "Yay!" when analyzing a deal, but its a poor substitute for the above. 

4.) Estimated Tax Adjustment: In many places, your taxes change based on the value of the home. But there is no second value to input new/adjusted tax assessment. I know this would be a projection, but most county/city tax rates are easily found, so if you know you'll be assessed 1.5% tax on value, an you buy a house that was taxed at $100K and ARV is $300K the tax change is significant and should be accounted for. If you dont want to estimate it (or your county does assessment every 10 years or whatever) you can leave it blank.

I'm sure there is more. But the above is really important. Considering that cash out at the end is one of the goals that Brandon and other pros harp on as key to maintaining cash on hard for the NEXT deal... I find it really frustrating that I have to run these numbers separately as apposed on the tool(s) that I'm paying for here. 

What else am I missing?
