And we all know most of this information has been stretched to BS proportions anyway.

We use a medium grade satin paint, and use the same few colors for all of our rentals, though in different combinations and proportions.

I strongly suspect you will find it's about the same proportion.

It's challenging to lease homes in this price range, because the rents rarely scale.In my market, for example, a $200K home might lease for $1800, but a $400K home won't get you the $3600 in rent you'd need just to maintain the exact same cash-on-cash return (assuming all expenses are proportional to price).

And the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying.

The monthly variation in ACTUAL cash flow is part of the risk that allows us to demand a proportionally higher return from our investment than say a physical bond with a defined coupon rate.  

I have been saying the same thing, my delinquency hasn't changed in proportion to my overall rent roll 2019 vs 2020. 

The long and short of it is that utah isn't building houses fast enough for the demand but rent prices haven't appreciated proportionally with market value of a house purchase. 

I have another development idea which is probably silly, but perhaps there will come a time for this idea.How about a building of say a dozen (give or take a few) energy-efficient, compact tiny condos.

Either way, you will make periodic adjustments based on actual cost changes that have occurred over time, or else you can find yourself deficient on reserves (like many HOAs tend to be).EDIT: Adding this link for discussion of how to perform a "reserve study".http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/75626-maintenance-proportion-of-rent
