I think your off-base on your reno budget working with best case scenario and/or limited knowledge.

A 3/2 is going to be less commonly desired by health professionals and you could look into insurance placement companies.  

For criminal background checks, services like TransUnion SmartMove, RentPrep, or MyRental are commonly used and provide comprehensive reports that include criminal history, credit checks, and eviction history.To verify how much they make, you can request recent pay stubs, bank statements, or tax returns if the tenant is self-employed.

However, when it came to modeling different financial scenarios, spreadsheets were my goto.

Worst case scenario you have to offer a small rent concession, but now you know where the market is.

Also, I will touch base with my current home owners insurance co but I'm curious about the scenario you laid out (requiring renter's insurance + advising home owner insurance that you have another person in the dwelling) -- did this suffice for you because you chose higher liability coverage?

Best (reasonable) case scenario is our taxes go down in 2024, not to pay back for the overages in 2023 but by just bringing the increase down to 15% for anything that went up more than that in 2023.

@Chris SnowI would say this is not a good flip I think your best case scenario is your property appraises for $315,000 which means you're all in should be no more than $220,000 less rehab of $90,000 brings you to a purchase price of 130,000.

Pretty common for tree roots to grow into a cast line or clay.

Network with investors, avoid common pitfalls, and refine your numbers.Good luck!
