Quote from @William Taylor: Quote from @Addy Chupa: Hi William,I ran some numbers using our tool, and I’ve included my thoughts below, along with two scenarios: one based on your exact assumptions and another with adjusted figures that I believe could make the deal work better.Observations on Your Numbers Utilities: Based on your calculations, it seems you’ve assumed the tenants will cover all utilities.

In that they will detail the scales they use, including at which level of renovation it's possible to get things "reset" so it is appraised as if it is a new built property.

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

However, things like my ATM investments will continue to throw off a 24% CoC return and 20% IRR and I'm not including those.

That might include things like adding units, converting commercial space to residential, or finding ways to boost income (like adding parking).The key is recognizing opportunities while walking the property, and that takes experience.

Some types of Creative Financing include: Seller/Owner Financing, Land Contract, Wrap, Assumption, Subto, Lease Option, Contract for Deed.

Many billionaires and celebrities own property there, including lots of Americans.The infrastructure is top notch.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I’ve been manually scouring Zillow/MLS for deals, but it’s time-consuming, and I’d love to streamline this.2.Has anyone experimented with using machine learning models (like classifiers or regression models) to rate properties based on their condition from MLS listing photos?
