This item is one of the more requested items to have in our house.

I’m hoping to establish a reliable stream of unearned income through real estate investments, but I’m new to the field and looking for guidance.I have around $35,000 saved (excluding stock investments) and would love to connect with someone who can help me navigate this world.

It's no different than those who hold stocks, then need to liquidate to purchase items.

Admittedly, pricing will often account for any major items, and I don't believe this is true in Sandy Springs, but there are some areas that an interstate cuts off a small part of the neighborhood, and so labeling the neighborhood as "good" may be true for 90% of that neighborhood, but if you are in the 10% that is on the "wrong side" of the interstate, it can be a totally different market.

After all, this is real estate, and it would be unrealistic to expect that things like tenant issues or other issues do not ever occur, even in TK or new construction investing.Some notable items to understand:1) This investor independently chose to move forward with this Akron property on his own.

And then the second item is - if you do take out more money, where does that leave you from a cashflow standpoint.   

They also sell items at farmers markets.

Prepaid items are comprised of property taxes and insurance and prepaid interest.Property taxes and homeowners’ insurance will depend on whether or not you have an escrow account, when you are closing, and when those items are due.

Alternatively, are there some ballpark estimates for each expense item (e.g., 8% for vacancy, 3% for capex, etc.) that can be factored in as realistic or worst case scenarios when analyzing the deal?

It is just a matter of whether they broke it or not.It goes the same with all issues such as guest complaining about not being able to check in before check in time, or not able to find the item when we clearly stated where they are and sent them photo proof… I call this stacking the bullets before the battle and I tell my team you guys are sending me without weapon to fight if you don’t do this for me 😂 (I handle all the claims as I do this for my job)You are in an expensive market!
