Budgeting: Many landlords use the 50 percent rule, which means that 50 percent of your rental income should go to covering fixed and variable expenses, other than the mortgage.4.

But of course, the actual value will depend on a lot of variables - local market conditions, planned renovations, etc.

We create brand-able and share-able reports with all the variables and charts to help visualize an investment in order to share the reports with business partners, realtors / clients, banks, potential clients, etc.Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else I can be helpful with.

Usually enlistments are for 4 years but there’s so many variables after the first enlistment that I would ask them how long they have left.

If yes, this is a smart way.There are variables in the middle, but 99 percent of part-time agents don't make it and drop their license within a couple years or just pay the fees and do nothing.

So many variables.

Your consist numbers you have and the variable numbers that you can play with are rehab and holding costs...

Fewer variables make the deals easier to analyze and more predictable. 

@JD Martin the biggest issues have been related to furnaces, hot water, a missed clean, and broken hot tub. generous refunds have ranged from 25-100%, it really just depends on variables like nightly rate, guest demeanor, impact on their stay, etc. 

Also, Helocs are typically variable rate, so I would check on this detail.
