@Brant Richardson

Ok good to know I am starting to get on track with my numbers I think. I upgraded to pro. I have ran a few sample deals on there and starting to feel more comfortable.

I am not 100% on the ARV, it sold in 2008 for $108000. I am going in It tomorrow and hope to find a clean, beautiful, turn key property. Haha

This site is a amazing, a lot because of people like you and everyone else who responds to these newbie posts. I greatly appreciate it.

@Brant Richardson Thank you for the help. I dont have any idea of the repairs I just wanted to see if I could analyze it correctly then change the numbers later. So based off of some things i have read on here, $100 a room or better is acceptable?

@Bill Jacobsen I guess I was thinking Cap ex included the repairs.. So Cap ex would just be for the physical assets like roof, siding, furnace, ect? And thank you!

@Kenneth Hynes Thanks for helping out, what are your thoughts as far as purchasing?

@Darren Flater Nice to meet another local guy! I read your portfolio. Very nice, I have the same goals in mind. Thanks for the input, and yes the house is in waterloo. The house needs a egress window put in to make it the 3rd bd. You have any idea when they would be able to dig that with the frost in the ground? I am going to make some calls monday but just thought i would see if you had some experience with that.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply!

in the expenses i have 10% for pm. As for repairs, it would be the egress window. Everything looked good and ready to rent.

I also had the closing cost in the cost assumptions at the top

With that in your figures would it be good deal ? Or move on?

Mehran

Thanks! I will look into that asap! I meet with a lender Monday just to see where I sit and what my goals are. I think I will post a few deals and run the numbers myself. Hopefully I will be on track and if not maybe I can get some advice!? Ha I can't wait to do a deal but I really want to know what I am doing first. Thanks so much! This site is amazing!

Cedar falls is a college town. University of northern Iowa. Some rentals take a pretty good beating around campus.

I don't have any rentals personally but have done a few jobs in them. Most of the time I do vynle tile or laminate snap together. Some sheet vynle too. Seems like restraunts like the commercial sheet vynle on the bathroom floors and on wall behind urinals. Others, just some left over tile from some bigger jobs that I can get for a little cheaper. It's hard to beat the vynle tile, seems like it can really take some abuse. Sheet vynle is pretty cheap, cheap to have installed and helps with water to an extent.

Of course all of this in my opinion.
