What sort of return do equity partners typically ask for? 

Would that standard 35-40% opex ratio be inclusive of some percentages for property mgmt fees (8-10% usually) and some sort of capex reserve assumptions?

Many times, one of them doesn't work or works part time or simply doesn't have the income and credit qualifications that meet your selection criteria, but the other spouse or person does as the "primary income provider". 

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

There are so many rentals on the market at any given time which allows potential tenants to be selective. 3.

In foreclosure rescue or bankruptcy you can have similar problems.Even a change in servicer or selling the note from one lender to another can create a series of late payments that needs to be sorted out.It’s just better to do these properly from the start.

There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

But here's to sort of similar scenarios that might work: Because you don't have to replace the debt exactly.

I'm looking for a PM group that has a reasonable monthly rate, manages tenant selection well, addresses property issues with quality, and conscientiously and actively turns properties when vacant.
