If no banks will finance then you could always look into a partner that provides financing weather they be a hard money lender or active investing partner who opens the loan in their name.

I correctly forecasted steep appreciation in this area, and found a home that was poorly marketed and outdated to renovate and temporarily hold.

When you are forecasting for the future, you can very safely assume the historical rent increase of 4% will continue.  

Jason Weathers at Auben Realty How did you finance this deal?

I think a lot of people moved away from traditional job magnet cities like New York and San Fran to weather the pandemic.

They actually look good in person, and they weather to a nice gray.

We have had some very wet weather here and I have discovered a bit of water on the 3rd floor unit sheetrock, and some water at the wall level (same spot on the building) of the 1st floor unit resulting in some damp sheetrock.

If it’s a flip, I could reason the cost.If the entire house is 103V, its an internally shorted main breaker (cheap), an issue on the power companies end (free), or a shorted common from the weather-head to the main (not rewiring the whole house).

Not sure how you can resolve the issue of over/under salting to accurately forecast cost, but you may want to consider having them use a calcium-magnesium-acetate snow melt in lieu of traditional rock salt.

Then if you know of specific future capex expenditures, you can use inflation to forecast roof replacements, etc. in 5 years or whatever period makes sense for the property.
