I've been an investor class B/C turnkey properties for just over 7 years now and my % of gross rent seems to be ~21% to 25% so far. 

I don't know if I will do the a/c and heat but might do dishwasher and w/d soon.My dad bought the building in the 70's when I was a kid.

.- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

What the gurus do NOT tell you is they expect you to get a Class C S8 tenant to rent a Class D property. 

@Kendric BufordRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

As a general rule, each entity that files a separate tax return (partnership, s-corp, c-corp, etc) will need its own QBO subscription.

@Mike Sfera some property managers might do this and maybe give you general guidelines on what to expect for Class A, B and C areas, etc.

1) We make sure backside funds are confirmed at title before we initiate frontside wire.2) Our agreement that we get the wholesaler to sign essentially would allow us to secure a loan against the property if for whatever reason there was an issue (as never happened).3) We generally insist that both the A-B and the B-C contract are at the same title company.

If you do it right, it’s arguably the best market to invest.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.
