Do these variables depend solely on the purchase price or are they a fixed cost that fluctuate independently of purchase price?

I need to refi my mortgage to remove the ex-husband’s name from the deed….so those numbers will fluctuate a bit. 

@Ashish WaThe difference between rates on DSCR and Conventional fluctuates all the time. 

My experience is the rents lag behind the property fluctuation in both directions When property prices go up, rents go up but not as fast. 

The only certainty you can ever have with any financial market is that it will fluctuate. 

People were using boutique property management companies that charged 40-50% of revenue, and then turning around and charging guests crazy high nightly prices that never fluctuate, so the property normally only had 40-50% occupancy in the winter and less in the summer.We realized this was a dumb and outdated system, put our unit on airbnb and self-managed, actively changed nightly prices based on demand, and made a few other important tweaks to the system.

I have no clue how Guyana's currency fluctuates so I can't help there.

I know some people are cashing out since the market is hot, however I view real estate as a buy & hold stock- it’s going to fluctuate and go up and down, but as long as I’m getting paid it’s a sound investment.

Kyle, place in some numbers of a house you were looking at, price, mortgage,taxes etc. average rent for the area for same size units. may be a little easier to get answers from people if they can help check your figures. i know in the area that i am investing right now, a 4 bedroom unit runs me $200 / bedroom/ month to run and i have a 2 family with 8 bedrooms that runs me $150- the more bedrooms the less per bedroom. that is without the mortgage. that can fluctuate depending on the cost of the property and the amount you put down, so i leave that number separate. to me Maintenance seems a little high, if you have a unit that collects $1700 per month ( 20,400 yr ) at 15% that's $3060 for lawn care and snow removal. i pay half that $1500 - so that's 7 1/2 percent ( these numbers come from my 4 bedroom unit ( 1700 & 1500 )). that would be another 1500 in your pocket. what you can do is ask a management co. in the area what is the typical charge for maintenance, or a local landscaper. that 1500 could make a difference in your numbers, and there may be others. show a sample and you may get some insight from others

I'm using a combination of : - Zillow estimates : these seem to fluctuate quite a bit, so not sure how much to trust the "ZEstimate"- Craigslist : just look for postings in the area and use photos to get an estimate- Rentometer : usually seem to be pretty good, but does seem to lag a bit Any other good tools you guys have found ?
