But it's extremely common here for new folks to come on BP with broad stroke questions, without realizing the forum is a searchable database of scores of common questions with a plethora of answers already posted.Mike

Fairly common here in Cleveland.

@Stuart Udis is discussing what commonly happens.  

Hey Elizabeth - I'd factor in about $10k to get a padsplit up and running when it comes to furnishing which would include washer / dryer, additional fridge, bedding/desks, common area furnishings if you want to offer a little better experience.I'm only familiar with ATL - I think accounting for 1 move in / 1 move out per month is a good conservative assumption here.$8kish / year or so on routine and reactive maintenance combined which should include your cleanings, lawn care, maintenance calls ect. 12% per month of gross rents should be a good estimate if you want to look at it like that!

So spend NO money on advertising and use that money to make our product stand out.. this has led us to raise our prices Far above our competition more than makes up for it and we sell them as fast as we can build them.. for us thats delivering 2.5 homes per month. 

I no longer use either Facebook or Craigslist for advertising my units.

Tyler advertised (for $$$) a workshop on capital raising.

The posts also read like advertisements/ something a scammer would write, and the property address somebody mentioned above that supposedly closed in 45 days, hasn't sold since 2006...

.- Getting under contract and then reducing the price because of findings is common, but major reductions are likely to tick off the seller unless you have strong justification.

It is very common for residents to note of issues within a week of move-in.
