all three needed; New roof, siding and windows. moderate to heavy amount of landscaping needed, new deck, possibly extra structures on property need demo'd and removed such as extra gerages, etc.when i say $$/SF I mean if i look at the MLS and see the house has 2,000 finished square feet I would take my number such as $20/SF and multiply it by the listed 2,000 so my budget for example would be $40,000.

I can give you the build up for month 1-6 for 2016 and multiply that by two before dividing it by the number of units.

For those of you who don't know, the 70% rule is basically the multiplier you have for the ARV (or After Repair Value) from which you deduct the repairs and it will give you the MAO or Maximum Allowable Offer for a house you're going to acquire.

Leverage, in a low interest rate environment, multiplies returns.

Here is my analysis:Rental Income: $1,500===================================================================Expenses:Taxes: $168Insurance: $35Water/Sewer: $0 (Tenant Pays)Garbage: $0 (Tenant Pays)Eletric: $0 (Tenant Pays)Gas: $0 (Tenant Pays)Hoa: $67Vacancy Rate: $150 ( I do not know what the actual percentage is, I just used 10% because that is what you put for one rental property in spring and I just multiplied it to the rent $1,500)Repairs: $100 (Home has been recently renovated and I doubt there is anything that needs any repairs)CapEX: $100 ( I don't really know how to calculate this!

Of course, they could always come back with an attorney or a nonprofit organization and make trouble for the landlord.To me, in most cases, paying the statutory relocation fee is a bargain when you multiply the additional rent by your cap rate or GRM and see the difference that market rents will make to the worth of the building.
