I expect to get $2,200 a month for rent and will manage it myself.

What is to be expected once I purchase the property?

Fixing a leaky toilet, replacing a broken light fixture, etc. can create good will.

Expect property inspector to investigate rehab performed was good, alongside general property inspection.Can a BP member please recommend a good inspector along with what I should expect to pay for the service.Thank you

There are a few properties in the Midwest that manage to generate cash flow, although the appreciation is minimal—this is about the best scenario you can expect.

Let me know if you need any tips on working with contractors or setting expectations.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Zachary YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I expect to outperform these numbers.

It sounds like we didn't do a good job of setting expectations with you on the front end.
