I'm going to paste a photo of my analysis so I don't have to type everything out but wanted to call out a few things: -This is a duplex house hack where my fiance and I would be taking over one of the units. 

Not using a nominal rate per door for analyzing cash flow. 

Here are some key pointers on how to manage your short term rental photo shoot.1.

You get all your mail scanned electronically and you can forward anything that you want for a nominal fee.

Always, get the paint updated to a relevant color and then take first class photos.

Details and photos of comps pointing out which were distressed sales along with visual evaluation of condition and which were standard sales, along with condition reports and photos.

Take photos of everything.

Two incidents of thefts from my rehabs was a no-brainer to get the WI/FI which is nominal to me calling the police, informing the insurance company only to be told (whatever) wasn't covered, and of course my deductible is $1000. 

I have 375k into the deal, rented the property for two years at a 140kgross and will pay the owner off that note in about 11 mos. the property is now around 650-700k. depends on your situation but for the nominal difference your talking I say go for it but if you're leveraging the upfront you need to cash in the overage for the appraisal and vice versa if your cash up front then have the seller carry a note from my experience- it also shows that the seller believes in the project by doing so if they won't carry a note separately id potentially walk but thats because we do mostly cash deals and the inability of them to believe in what I am willing turn me off to the deal when your talking about this gap
