Also, as I prepare for estimates, would be helpful to know where my in year deductions actually are.  

To answer this question you'll want to get estimated accelerated depreciation for each of the properties and do a proforma on tax savings it would generate.

Any idea estimate on cost? 

Maybe look for a different type of tenant that doesn't leave every year or sell the place if it isn't meeting your other investment objectives.2) As PM's we always seek prior authorization for expensive turns or capital projects, even though the estimates given to our owner-clients are often ball-park numbers.

@Jason Dubon I take the cost of all appliances and divide it by 5 (avg lifetime of appliances these days) to estimate annual cost of appliance replacements.

I wanted to share some key insights from Rentometer’s analysis of over 5 million rental searches in 2024. The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list...

Compare other rentals with a similar size, location and bedroom count to get an estimate of what the rent would be while you're living there.

For example "Just get 3 estimates from general contractors.." is a lot easier written than done!!

We have been working to be extremely conservative with our estimates but with this being our first go at this, any additional expertise is greatly appreciated! 

My home has an estimated $100,000 or more in equity in it.
