I am looking for rental properties in Tampa, FL, and I am having trouble estimating expenses when analyzing deals. 

On-site evaluations allow you to examine the property's condition, identify potential difficulties, and precisely estimate renovation costs.

Take this 💥just-closed renovated property for example💥:With my query of "22757 Charlemont Pl, Woodland Hills, CA 91364 5/4/2400-3050,0.6,300" we get an ARV Estimate that is ~4% off, and I picked this at random just scrolling through recently closed in my areaAnd the Market Stats $/sf of renovated property in that Zip Code matches up pretty well, so I know the ARV estimate is realistic:You can also run Agent Stats to find/get in touch with the real top-agents in that area so you can triple-verify everything and/or list it with them when you are done.With the above, I am able to quickly vet every new deal that comes my way and spend more time on the good ones.

Need help with figuring out how to estimate rehab costs and how to figure out what’s the best price to buy at.

Its not worth trying to collect it each month, the time and hassle, for the little amount of difference it will be over a good estimate. 

Estimated lender, underwriting fees are around $4,800-$5,500 if on the lower end of the purchase price ($100K and below for example).

Our electric bill is already significantly higher than our realtor estimated it would be, without the pool heater running.We thought we were getting professional photos.

Additionally, I wasn't able to get the original rent amount I estimated, so that had an impact on the deal. 

This is provided you realistically estimate and go towards cash flow.I hope this was helpful.

An estimated full renovation of the apartments would cost around $150,000.
