Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.36.4% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 5-year class life.

Totally different policies and procedures.Sounds like you don't trust your agent though. 

My best property was purchased for 850k, then put 400k in(1.25m total).

@Cloey Green, this is totally contingent on what type of deal you are doing. 

I had read that you should look for a neighborhood where there have been at least 5% of the total homes in that given area sold in the past year.

I’m also using a 6% vacancy rate, which brings the net monthly cash flow to about $200 and a CoC return of 13.06%.Summary:I’ve created around $50k in equity (difference between ARV of $200k and total investment of $155k).I’ve got about $10k or $18,385 left in the deal (factoring in closing costs).The cash flow is healthy, and the CoC return is strong, especially as a first-time investor.Questions:Does anything look off or could I improve the numbers?

Many have pulled out of insuring multifamily properties or only cover up to 4-unit buildings.While Allstate doesn’t have a unit cap, they do cap total coverage at $750K on a landlord policy—which is why I’m exploring options for supplemental coverage.The carrier raised my rate by ~86% on all three properties under this policy.

I totally hear you on wanting confidence you're getting the *best* deal when there can be multiple that look good (this was actually the reason I built a tool that scans and analyzes every new property on the market so I knew I was getting the best of the best!).

I have 3 rental properties (5 doors total) with M&M Property Pros.

Simply means that you live in one side, and rent the other side to help (or totally) pay off your mortgage.
