So my profit cushion got wiped out during the build, but also now I’m realizing that compared to other homes in the area this one has a pretty small backyard and that not helping.   

How much gross profit did he make on the sales. 

A lot of people try to make $100+ profit per door, each month.

But there are companies out there , they operate by quoting extreeeeeeemly high prices , their salesmens commission is based on the profit on the job . 

Builders profit is on the end.

These loans are the same work as a bigger loan for less profit.

Massively increase rents and sell at enormous profit.

So the owner also makes a monthly profit.

Many investors are too short-sighted to do this math and fail to understand that it's often foolish to focus soley on top-of-the-market rent as it can actually be more profitable to accept less than max rent to keep a good, stable tenant.

However, none of the below qualifies as acceptable:just put the same as last yearnah, I did not make any profit last yearI guess between $10k and $20k per property, or maybe $25kI dunno, how much expenses are normal for my business?
