It won't tell you which property to buy, but will help you weed out the bad ones.

The best way to estimate expenses is experience and knowledge of your specific asset type and market.For vacancy, that will depend on your market and the quality/desirability of your type of unit.

I needed to do a minor variance, which wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be and my architect did most of the heavy lifting.

Professional staging, virtual tours, and high-quality photos can help them envision how the space fits their lifestyle, whether it’s for entertaining, work, or family.To overcome the “biggest house in the neighborhood” concern, shift the focus to its uniqueness and lifestyle potential.

I had a conversation with a Probate/Estate lawyer and he suggested the following but what he said doesn't quite add up to what I have read so I want to see if I am just not understanding or if I am getting bad gouge.Advice was to create WY LLC that owns all properties, that is then "owned" by a land trust for additional anonymity, that the beneficiary is a regular Trust that owns everything else in my name.

Just for the numbers - out of 125 skiptraced contacts, 71 have "Working" numbers (Albeit, some are landlines which are suboptimal to contact homeowners in foreclosure) - and 54 "No Skip Available/No Working Contact" numbers - So ~43% of the properties I skip trace come back with bad/no skips - and I feel like that number is relatively high, correct me if I am wrong.

It can be good when everything is clicking, but it can also be horribly bad...and dangerous when you end up with a problem occupant.

Other factors such as the quality of the tenant, and location will also determine the value you can get.

It's just a bad business. 

My expectation is that they won't pay it, or ignore it altogether.Lastly, if they are actually able to prove your home was in such bad condition that it was uninhabitable, they may have a leg to stand on for early termination/abandonment.
