In review, I found that they have basically made zero dollars after paying out all expenses AND debit expenses.

I had them managing my duplex for a little over a year I am so frustrated that I told them they won't be collecting another dollar of rent!

Replacing a toilet can be relatively cheap but wasting water via a leaky toilet can add up to thousands of dollars in costs.

I have use the calculator on Bigger Pockets but it only allow for dollars instead of % to calculate.  

As a result (at least in my area) most appraisers rush this process and give something like 112% value for remodel- which is utterly ludicrous, as our remodels are enormously leveraged and should give closer to 300% value.And with these ARV based DSCR programs, you need a high ARV dollar amount, or else they further drop your LTV.

Of the cases pending in Lee County, there is an active case, whereby the Plaintiff is alleging approximately 5 million dollars against Blacktip, and one alleging $150,000.There may be more cases, judgments, or settlement agreements that we are unaware of.

If there are excess funds after paying the local/school real estate tax bill, the remainder can go to:Current real estate taxesCurrent Muncipal liens for water/sewer or any other bill initiated by the municipalityState Liens, usually for outstanding state taxes, sometimes employee/employer taxesPA State Inheritance Tax which applies to all deceased owners and starts at dollar one with no exemptions, unlike the Federal Estate Tax. 

For example, if the rent was 1000, and your total prin/int/taxes/insurance/HOA payment for that property  was 800, you would only have to carry 50 dollars a month with the rest of your income.

But when they arise, they often cost several thousand dollars or more, hence the budgeted holdbacks.
