What percentage of the time  are you renting to families now?

That is, the rough percentage of the investments you make that end up costing you? 

They will send the EMD to your title company and charge you a percentage of the amount borrowed.

This varies based on the percentage of the loan the lender or broker is charging for the work. 1.5-2.75% of the loan amount is in the ball park of average but there are lenders and brokers who charge more or less.

Also, the denominator is "initial investment," not "total investment" I just get somewhat wary of inflated numbers that make something look better than it is -- saying that my NWROI is this incredible percentage - but an ongoing maintenance concern/capital expense actually makes the property break - -even or even worse. 

Be careful with VA as Realtor should disclose to seller the percentage of eligibility they lose.Servicer of note is not required to respond in any specific time frame. 

Yep, its known as a Fix & Flip loan and you can find it on the Lender Finder feature here on BiggerPockets.The term of the loan will generally be less than 2 years and they will usually fund a percentage of the purchase price (I've seen 60-80 percent) and many times 100% of the renovation.It makes sense to have a strong idea of the reno costs prior to applying for any amount with this type of product. 

Taxes should be in the underwriting but at the same time, the percentage charged by the local city/county/state should be baked into the nightly rate. 

It cost money to own a house and people normally allocate a percentage of the revenue towards repair, capex, vacancy and property management.

They normally charge a larger percentage of income because STR are much more involved than LTRs.
