I moved into a somewhat decent sized apartment complex for six months between houses. 

You can have two properties with similarly sized roofs in two completely different neighborhoods at different cost points. 10% "might" be a starting point, but it depends on a lot.

Number of Major Employers (To try and understand if the local economy is resistant to losing a big employer, or if that would crush the economy)8.

New homes are going to have virtually no repair, maintenance, or capex needs for the first five or so years, so you’ll be able to forecast your operating expenses and cash flow with a bit more certainty from the outset.Older properties, however, are generally more affordable than a new home of comparable size and build quality, so if you’re after a good deal, you’ll likely have more luck here—especially if you’re willing to look beyond the MLS for deals.

Sure, you can make your unit extra special through design or amenities but when most of your competition is similar in size/shape, those extra items can only warrant so much of an increase in ADR. 

For example, if you are looking to get $1,000 a month and all the available rentals on Zillow have hardwoods for a comparable-sized property/ unit you would want to add hardwoods.

If you plan on buying investment properties in the future or after this scenario DSCR would be a good fit as well again No tax returns or personal income required.Lastly Non/QM also offers a program called "Bank Statements" for self employed buyers and it will allow the use of "Cannabis" income. 

Usually you need to have some experience before getting funding, however it will vary largely on the size of the rehab.

As a PM and a fiduciary to my clients I use a more complex software than most self managers use and also employ a live revenue manager to scan my local area.
