Specifically, the cost to have it corrected is now a known material fact. 

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! 

You are best off to raise the rent and give the tenant the option to stay.Also, I hear a lot on here that "rents should be", "the potential rents are"... make sure that you do your due diligence when calculating potential rents because most new owner OVER estimate them.

If we rent the unit at $1,425, I have an estimated monthly cashflow of $302 (rent at $1450, cashflow is $325) I DO include vacancy, repairs, and cap exp in my Box2 Expenses.

I am not worried so much about maximizing it rather than that it gives me a bit; because as more of the estimated $150000 property mortgage I want to take is paid down, the numbers get a bit better with appreciation as well.

Also, make sure to connect with local contractors to get estimates on your prospect properties.

I then ran a different ad and the cost was only 6 cents per contact. 3 cents higher than FB lowest estimate.

The actual estimate is that less than 25% of the nations homeless people live in California, not 51%.

When in Due Diligence have a thorough inspection and get estimates for any work that is needed now and potentially in the next 3-5 years. don't forget about the tax benefits to doing the work upfront.

That is roughly 9% rent price appreciation over the original rent estimates.
