The other thing is concerning how much rehab you are doing and is this absolutely necessary to command the $950 rent or does this maybe put you at a level above the other rents in the area?

Paying cash should help command a discount.

We recently rented internal to my husbands command.

For those not familiar with vacation rental prices, a 5BDR/4BATH house in a decent urban area will easily command at least $500/night.

With the ones provided it appears they will not command 1% per month of the purchase price.

You are missing leverage to command a lower price.

Granted, a turnkey is generally fully rehabbed so it can command a premium in rent over the rundown rentals in the area.

Depending on your area, with the renovations, if you decided to keep it you could command a slightly higher rent for updated accommodations. 

It's a student rental and typical expenses such as lawn was not responsibility of the owner.I'm just wondering where these numbers are coming from that are posted on the web site.I guess this line "rental income potential" says it all in that it is assumed because of the collected data that this property could potentially command what is being posted on the site.

Truth be told, I admire the way they completed the deal so swiftly and I command them on that.
