Trying to figure out what I can/should expect to charge for 1)Purchase price; 2) Down payment and; 3) the spread per month if any on what I pay per month.

Good luck, and let us know what you figure out!

I guess, I am trying to figure out how all this really work.  

Until whoever is sending you these opportunities has the conversation with you on how much you'd like to make on a deal, how you figure your ARV and how you plan a rehab/ costs they are likely going to continue sending you opportunities you won't find too appealing. 

So it really just comes down to figuring out what solution works for a given market, but it's yet another great thing about real estate: having options!

I am digesting what you said and figuring out how we can apply.

But if I were you I would be making a immediate bee line back to the property (xmas or not) to figure what the heck happened and quickly make an assessment to get the property back in condition. 

I try to do yearly 1-3% increases because that will roughly correspond to a tenant's income increases and also be close to the average rental increase over the LONG term.

Most folks overestimate the cost to prepare a space for MTR, but you'll figure out cost-savings and improvements with every iteration.

I've also considered just flying back to town and showing it myself as it would be roughly the same cost to do that versus a property management company, if not a less.
