Vacasa seems like they cover everything which is great for hands off owners, but they charge an arm and a leg.

Otherwise get a glass or plexiglass cover made for the top because not everyone will use coasters.

The one percent and 2 percent rule ive never looked at ... cap rate is .. meh .. its there - what im most concerned with is the price of the home relative to comparables and cash on cash to start.   9)  I look  the other way if it is a multi unit that is not separately metered - thats always one of my criteria here in pgh as there are a lot of older homes and a good portion you wind up worrying about who will cover utilities.  

No surprises about not having enough to cover the balance.

I've used it as a reference point, the reason being is that the 70% rule doesn't cover the amount of time it could take.How we buy properties is what is our cash on cash return?

If you use a property manager, you'll need at least 50 rentals to cover the additional expenses.

This is because they didn’t budget properly and rent wasn’t high enough to cover actual expenses (repairs and maintenance, cap ex, vacancy and loss, tenant damage and turnovers, etc don’t expect to have any money left over after all of these expenses are accounted for if the rent is less than $1,500/month). 

You can have an extra large garage on this level, plus some storage, maybe even some covered outdoor living space.

But PadSplit does not handle maintenance and any member communications, our management covers that. 

There would be or can be if I advise on an individual basis in a specific note, I'm not willing to take $500 on payments or charge a % of some profit and take on that liability, that won't even cover my insurance premium.
