It worked well.The one thing I'd change is that I saved a little money by not renting a compacting machine to settle the base.

So I guess it means 3 things: 1- The 50% cannot be used here right of the bat, maybe 40% would be more adequate.2- There will be no easy rule of thumb for our market, and we'll need to dig deeper in the actual expenses when qualifying potential properties.3- It shows how the market value is not proportional with the price of rents.Anyways, best of luck to you !

With the amount of money that we have to put in versus the extra rent we might be able to collect is not proportional.

Can adding a bathroom or bedroom be deducted or just things like proportional utilities that I pay, taxes, and depreciation?
