I am thinking near $400/month per unit including furnishings.  2 units would be $9600.   

When networking on BP or in person, being clear about your goals will make a big difference.Are you mainly interested in finding rental properties, connecting with other landlords, or exploring specific asset types?

If it's not included in the rent, many companies charge a flat fee to monitor & pay utilities.2) Assuming you're referring to resident benefit packages, renters insurance, and other charges for services the PMC offers to tenants. 

They are however good at 20-25% down commercial portfolio loans if you need a creative solution so it depends on what your intended use is, your preference is, are you trying to get maximum leverage aka lowest down payment or is rate or cost your main preference? 

I would include in your future offers that you want sellers to show proof of lead cert, if not have them pay for it as a part of the sale if it is not present. 

I understand that that a home in Jerome Village would already have property tax, that would include additional fees for the roads, infrastructure, etc. and that it's based upon "millage" and the home's assessed value. 

As long as the cosigner's total debt, including your rental, is less than your standard requirement, such as 33% DTI, then that would satisfy the income requirement for us. 

SPC is great for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and baths, while WPC is softer underfoot and ideal for main living areas.

.- There are plenty of good RE podcasts including the BP podcast.

@Kevin Hilton not sure which market you're looking at for your next purchase, but I have a lending partner who can do investment deals (including non-warrantable condotels) with just 15% down if it helps.
