I'm originally from Florida and was drawn to this market after doing a ton of research on different areas.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

When I hit calculate the calculator only seems to calculate the interest on the original purchase price,  not the rehab cost.

If a tenant passes your requirements—credit score, income, background checks, and landlord/job verification—then I typically charge just the security deposit plus the first month’s rent.

Assuming it's written in your management agreement somewhere that states the owners are current on all financial responsibilities related to the property, does anyone require them to actually provide a current mortgage statement, HOA payment record, taxes paid, etc..... at least at the time of the original management agreement signing.Recently had a new owner sign the agreement, only to find out after we had secured a new tenant for them, that they were in financial distress to say the least (inquiring about bankruptcy) .

Quote from @Mei Zhu: Transunion Smart Move has an online application and screening that I recommend.Whichever you decide, make sure they provide a full credit report, not just a score.

Looks like someone removed the original post.

You likely can just keep your original loans unless they loan sizes are large and rates drop enough to justify a refi.
