I can't blame NY or any exterior situation.

We're a little over 2 years into this project and are now working on exterior items like new siding and gutters, painting stairwells and hallways, etc. 

I have a good grasp on what I can get siding, windows, trim, interior/exterior doors, decks, guttering roofing, flooring, landscaping and concrete done for and who to use/where to source materials, along with electrician/plumbing -- lacking site prep, foundation/framing/roof trusses cost -- I could get the cost of the rough in from a buddy who runs a plumbing co.My challenges are A - not being able to be there all day to run things, and B - still missing some of the key contractor connections.  

Also, show up at HomeDepot on a Saturday morning and walk around the parking lot taking pictures of sub's magnetic stickers on their trucks saying what they do and their phone numbers.Hope this helps other newbies like me.

Property needs new exterior paint, dual pane windows and some interior updates, flooring, cabinets, counter top etc.Thanks in advance!

wowi see 4k in just exterior work. post some pics of the "after" to see what you did.

This was a complete rehab, everything is new from the drywall to the floors to the driveway to the appliances, even the exterior, but the home was built in 1955, so it's an "older" home.

Based off my house which is in the same HOA my rough estimates are:ARV is about $130kRent would be in the $1300-1350 rangetaxes and insurance run about $475maintenance would be about $130 (10%)cap ex $130 (10%, property is about 40 yrs old, most exterior work is covered under HOA) management $130 (10%, planning on the possibility to hand it over to a manager)vacancy $130HOA is about $175This totals costs to be about $1150-1200, which doesn't leave room for a mortgage.  

From there, putting $5k into each unit and painting the exterior would work wonders.
