@Jason RuelloAs said below, 5-10% of monthly rent should be allotted towards TRR (treatments, repairs, replacements).To get a more accurate number or capital expenditures, you can examine the age and state of major items of the house such as the roof, HVAC, water heater, etc.

Hello,I am at the end of my real estate course, targetting to do the exam in the first week of November.My plan is to become a real estate agent while I keep my full-time job so I can buy my primary home and get the commissions.

@Zeke Liston Thank you for the stats! 

Either you just know lots of people/network, do lots of your own speculating, or you pay for it in advertising.National Association of Realtors’ own stats put it something like ~75% of new realtors quit in the first year and by the third year something like ~90% to 95% have quit.If you really want to do it, try it out part time.

I would start with examining the lease and have your tenant contact renters insurance asap for coverage of their belongings. 

But yes I believe the stats for RE Agents is 95% are out of the business before 24 months, 80% in the first 12.

I was wondering if anybody else was studying for the real estate state exam in the Fresno Ca area.
