I am using the following numbers:Vacancies - low in my area so I'm using 8%Repairs  - 5% of rental incomeCapital Expenditures - 5% of rental income + 1% for every decade over 20 yrs property age (i.e. 7% for a 40 year old house)Management - 12%  (expecting 10% + 1 mo per new tenant)So this adds up to at least 30% of my income.  

Sure, take 10,000 homes bought by investors, and do regression analysis that gives me an indication of variables that are common, like geographic area, home value, home owner's age, income level, political persuasion, gender, ethnicity, or anything else!

Im only 15 but im open to any basic tips that can help me be successful  in the long run when i get my real estate license at the age of 18.

And I have my  GC do the mini inspection and tell me the age  of roof and ac etc, so I am ready to sign contracts as soon as they call me.  

i am a teenager and am looking to get into real estate in the future. although, i was wondering if there were ways to get started now and if i could potentially make money off of it at such a young age.

In the mean time they are looking at houses out here but do not want to get a new mortgage at their age ( late 50's early 60s).

I've been in the business since age 19 (on the management side), and I've been a broker since 2009.

What did the inspector say about the condition/age of the HVAC and water heater/ roof?

My goal is to not be a "shark" in this industry but i just want to have everything running by a certain age then relax.
