Not only did we feel that was our way to give back, but we were also hoping that our residents would feel more inclined to pay rents when they became in a better position to do so.

It’s a bit precarious and on an incline.

I'm inclined to help people as it is part of my every day process.

Hi all,I am new to the US rental market and have a few questions.The item expenses, to be deducted from the gross monthly rent in order to achieve the NOI/cap rate/net gain, etc. is for me the biggest obstacle when trying to decide on any investment.Unfortunately, it is not often possible to arrive at a reliable figure/percentage, I have seen many vendors/operators give vastly different estimates.As a general rule of thumb, I would be inclined to think that it could be anything from 30% (minimum) to 50% or over.

Instead of focusing on tenant renewal property managers may be inclined to turn over the unit for another leasing commission (typically leasing commissions are larger than renewal fees) and most make a mark up on repairs and cleaning, and if they are self performing this can be especially tricky. 

But my first inclination was that you weren't really happy with it or are nervous about it. 

That was my inclination but curious what others were doing.

What got you inclined to search for that type of asset class?

We have always gone to 200 amp but then again 300 amp would definitely be a plus for a geothermal configuration, or the 240v 3x50amp breakers for a LARGE on-demand HW system or maybe the HVAC of a discreet 'grow' facility :) Admittedly the extra amps would adequately supply the future ADU BUT assuming it's allowed I would be inclined to install a separate meter/feed for that.The $3500 sounds reasonable...the last 200 amp upgrade I did myself ran about $800 in materials as those 'code required' AFCI beakers will 'break' you $$$.

Yes I agree with you, with current trends this should not be an issue whatsoever....I posed this question as I was thinking about what future markets looked like in Idaho as compared to California...being that it is forbidden for lenders to go after homeowners with a deficiency judgement it would make sense that the California market is more volatile in regards to foreclosures (being that owners can simply walk away).....but if that was not the case or not typical in Idaho, owners would be more inclined to do everything they can to weather the storm and hold on until the market stabilizes.
