I've posted a 24 hour notice of entry and my wife knows how to give a preamble of recording and use her video phone.I don't anticipate a problems, but I have to control the frame of how things will proceed.

Are you anticipating getting a good price for it?

Would you anticipate flipping to another investor or sell on the retail market?

Anticipating great interactions

If the lender does not, we 'self escrow' in a separate reserve account (not an operating account or tenant trust account) that includes recurring expenses and anticipated capital costs.

If your target was a 10 cap but the inspector said a new roof was needed now for 8,000 you would go 86,940 purchase - immediate capex (8,000) = 78,940 offer priceMost investors shoot for about 100 minimum a door clear after anticipated costs and debt service per month.Remember the costs average out to 50% but some years you will use more and some less but it will average over time close to this.Big ticket items you need to build a cost reserve stable of when those items will reach past the life expectancy and plan accordingly.If you look at the BP file vault on here there is some free stuff and I believe a cost reserve stable in excel example is on here somewhere.

We anticipate that once we're stable here, we would sell our house in MN (which could be years down the road) and purchase a duplex.

with this approach you would double your money in under 7 years and if things did not work out as anticipated you would have more than enough income to pay borrowing costs.Appreciation in these markets would be a bonus , you make your money on the rental.

I am in an eviction right now and it will have taken almost 6 week to get fully complete I am anticipating.

I anticipate some short term unhappiness, but that is equivalent to adding about 1.5 1BR units to a 6plex.
