If your DTI is tight you may want to get a lease agreement in advance but these are things your lender should be coaching you through in anticipation of this purchase- dealing with the cash reserves, landlord experience, Best,

I've got 8hrs in and anticipate another 4hes.

What initial or early expenses should I anticipate within the first months of purchase (assuming I do all rehab at the time of purchase, so that they are rent-ready). 

I can specifically remember a 4-plex I seriously looked at buying in Dover because the numbers were close to what I would want and I anticipated being able to improve the operation, therefore improving the NOI.

I have experienced this first hand, some people may think they need a bookkeeper and come to find out that they needed someone with higher qualifications than originally anticipated. 

On the flip side, rents are  $90 below market, the garage building is unrented and I anticipate some laundry income, once service is set up. 

I'm anticipating the lawyer to try unconventional tactics in an attempt to extort money or convince the court to allow the tenant to stay there as long as possible. 

I had been anticipating a hit but did not expect anything that drastic. 

Good news is the loan market is actually much better than you are currently anticipating right now.

The opportunity cost of this strategy is much higher than people anticipate.
