The key evaluation data points for STR investors are accurate records of rental income and occupancy and/or projections from local mangers and online tools.

At present, a fully drawn $250K HELOC with (optimal credit) would offer an indexed rate based off of Fed Funds or Prime + 3-4% rate (depending on LTV, Property Type, Credit and LA) currently pricing at between 8.5-11% (11.5-13% w/lower credit) and interest only payments of +/- $2000 but the qualifying rate and payment for underwriting would be nearer $2300+ (on the low end) plus the 1st mortgage, and accurate taxes and insurance. 

Wonder if it's possible to refine that to a more accurate amount.I'll have to ask for additional breakdown for more detail.

A: This is pretty accurate from what ive seen, parking, access to a private bathroom are two factors that can help you push rents as well as the updates in the house.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.

Anytime ANYONE, and I would guess this is accurate if you ask others on BP.

There are multiple issues with adu/jadu valuations:* Lack of sold comps with similar jadu/adu's and therefore, their value is not accurately reflected yet.* Appraisers with lack of skill or motivation (due to their low fees received or charged) which deters them from doing the work required for an reliable valuation.* Residential properties (2-4 units) are mainly valued by sold comps and not with the income approach, since these properties are typically not purchased for their income potential exclusively.* adu/jadu's add contributory value to the property as a whole, which may or may not = the cost to build them.

I'm always learning about REI because the more knowledge I have under my belt, the better I can negotiate deals, accurately calculate repair costs and etc.

@David O'Sullivan JrRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
