I think they are online.Find out if there is sanitary sewer.

I've been doing construction work in Houston for 17 years, and I can tell you their numbers are a good starting point, particularly for quick, back-of-the-napkin figuring.

But i always feel it needs to be top of the line home with all the amenities and supplies, like napkins, paper towels, etc.

You can close a deal based on what you put on a napkin but the contract is for if something goes south.

(A) A landlord who is a party to a rental agreement shall do all of the following:(1) Comply with the requirements of all applicable building, housing, health, and safety codes that materially affect health and safety;(2) Make all repairs and do whatever is reasonably necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition;(3) Keep all common areas of the premises in a safe and sanitary condition;(4) Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances, and elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord;(5) When the landlord is a party to any rental agreements that cover four or more dwelling units in the same structure, provide and maintain appropriate receptacles for the removal of ashes, garbage, rubbish, and other waste incidental to the occupancy of a dwelling unit, and arrange for their removal;(6) Supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water, and reasonable heat at all times, except where the building that includes the dwelling unit is not required by law to be equipped for that purpose, or the dwelling unit is so constructed that heat or hot water is generated by an installation within the exclusive control of the tenant and supplied by a direct public utility connection;(7) Not abuse the right of access conferred by division (B) of section 5321.05 of the Revised Code;(8) Except in the case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, give the tenant reasonable notice of the landlord's intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times.

They will not accept things such as paper diapers, sanitary napkins,tampons, children’s toys, wads of toilet paper, balls of hair, grease, oil,table scraps, clothing, rags, sand, dirt, rocks, or newspapers.

. :)Anyway , you should have a clause in your lease stating that tenants must keep the premises clean, free of clutter, sanitary, and rodent free.

@Steve Babiak I am new here one week , steve I was just trying to give Ben some base lines to see if its even remotely feasible.. kind of back of napkin type thing I would do when looking at a lot..

The 50% rule is a good way to quickly pencil something out on a napkin but to do some real due diligence, you need to know what the taxes are, who pays water and gas/electric, how much that runs, what the real rent is, not what you're thinking it should be.

On an ongoing basis, Tenant agrees to keep the home in a clean, neat, and sanitary condition."
