Thank you sir! That's why I'm posting these i'm  trying to learn. Man my market is hard because there's no way I'm finding that in my area. Also I'm planning on occupying the house fro a year. Am I using the wrong calculator??

Thank you for your response! I got the interest rate off Zillow. What kind of expenses? Is there some kind of average you use for a single family home that I plan on occupying? What about insurance how can I estimate that? Thanks again!

Hello everyone! My plan is to purchase, live in, slowly rehab, refinance and move out after minimum one year to avoid CGT. When browsing on Zillow what are the key metrics to look at before I even try to analyze with the calculators? Any help would be appreciated!

Thx for the input guys. I learn something new every time. Tough love I like it!

 I would love some input! I can't see inside so rehab and stuff was a guess. Now that I'm thinking about it I shouldn't analyze properties that I cant at least guess what needs to be done. I'm trying to get good at this please feel free to privately message me.

I'm trying to start an REI meet up or club in the Palmdale or Lancaster area. If you are interested please let me know! I already have 4 members but the more the merrier! Message me for details.

@Chandler Gene Beck Thank you for your input! I put the vacancy at 10% because I saw Brandon's you tube video on how to fill out the calculator and he says he usually puts 10%. I may have been mistaken. That's a good idea to ask the managing company or real estate agent. Anything to get as accurate report as possible. What would you suggest to put in the cap ex and repairs? Is there a formula or average or website to look at? How can I get these numbers right? My plan is to buy and occupy and eventually rent out. Making smallish rehabs projects along the way depending on what property I end up with. Also am I even using the right calculator if the plan is to live in while rehabbing? @Robert Leonard Thank yo for your input! I think the 10% is a good conservative estimate. Same question to you about the cap ex and repairs is there a formula or average by state or county or website to ask? How do I determine the water an sewer? Contact the manager or real estate agent is there a website to go to? As far as the other expenses what kind do you mean? What would you suggest as an average or how can I figure that out? What is CoCROI? Cash out Cash returned on investments? I'm just starting out haha. 

I'm just practicing I knew that was a bad deal but I have to start somewhere and this input is awesome. Also to both of you I am planning on living in this house while I fix it up is this the right calculator? Anything else you all can think of is greatly appreciated!
