I've heard other investors say they think there is a difference in counties when it comes to the tenant paid portion, and that isn't quite accurate.

Hi Lane,DOesn't sound like the mold should be a major issue especially if you are doin gother rehabbing anyway.Best thing to do is get a mold company in so they can see it for themselves and give you a more accurate bid.As others have stated don't be afraid of a little mold it can usually be remediated for less than you may initially think.good luck,Chris

Big goals, small steps.I've read my books on the subject (20-25) and I feel confident that my analysis tools are getting more sophisticated and more accurate.

Oh and please don't tell me to just go to zillow and say zillow isn't accurate lol

You can find yourself in hot water with regulators.Bill's analogy about pick up sticks was probably one of the best and most accurate analogies I have personally heard.

One year tenancy should be enough to argue something in front of the judge.And then you could always gamble a bit: On one side, if it fails, you loose $100 or so filing fee and your time (if you go yourself to court).

Don't I need to know exactly what my loan will be before I can calculate this accurately?

I'm ready for my browbeating but hoping this is a little more accurate than my first take.

You have to get the accurate numbers and base your offer on current occupancy not on future possibilities.

But I don't think you'll have enough information to do it accurately.
