Finding tenants around the holidays is really tough.

There’s a huge and badly needed street project coming over the next few years on the main drag in the near west part of town - W.

Also I’m curious, though: do you have strategies you rely on to keep projects on schedule, especially with contractors?

A safe baseline is 5%–10% for vacancy, with C class properties often leaning toward the higher end due to more transient tenant populations.As for maintenance, the percentages they’re quoting—2% for B class and 7.5% for C class—are on the optimistic side, especially for long-term projections.

If your role is critical to the project's success, aim closer to 50-50.

@Daniel BoucherThis is a tough question.

Quote from @Jorge Magana: Nathan good afternoon; I'm about to do my first cost seg study for a new construction project we recently finished; would you recommend REcostseg?

Union City I tend to avoid, there are a few pockets that work for MTR but for the most part the city's rental laws make life very tough for landlords. 

32k or even 42k on a half million dollar house doesn't sound all that good.What's your projected cash flow after all your expenses including a likely higher mortgage payment than the current owners?

Are they projected or realized?
