It depends on what rates these lines are, what are the margins + index rates at today ?

Margins are often squeezed. 

First, I’m not really seeing enough cushion in certain popular areas for investors to realistically hit a 30% profit margin.

It’s all about those margins, so once you get that walk-through done, focus on nailing down your numbers for rehab.

It can be done in smaller towns, but the margins are still very tight.

Section 8 housing is not a secret but it is plagued with problem tenants, lawsuits and low profit margins. 

A lot of the deals that I analyzed (and passed on) over the past 12-18 months had unrealistically thin margins, and I saw the same thing on some of the loans that I looked at.

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

Negotiations focused on securing the property at a favorable price, enabling us to achieve a profitable margin in a highly competitive market without requiring additional renovations.

In most cases due to the transaction sizes, there's very little margin for these 3rd party vendors (particularly brokers, property managers and contractors).
