I happened to have bought a town home in a subdivision of identical homes.When it came time to sell I was competing with like product.

You would do well to keep this in mind and not only make your identity known to the prospect first thing, but strive to form a true personal connection each time you are on the phone with someone new.

Here are the numbers to put this into perspective:4 identical 2 story units2bed, 1.5 bath w/ parking and laundryPurchase price $150k + $5k buyer premium 25% down = $37,500 cashRepair estimate $40kActual repairs so far $55k (mostly credit)Rent $900min $1100maxMonthly Expenses $2200mo estimated (plus credit payments until paid off)I have utilized my excellent credit to fund a majority of the repairs on 0% interest credit card offers in hopes of having the tenants pay a majority of the debt prior to the promotion expiration.

In fact, Derek's link provided an equation almost identical to the one I provided.  

That one actually had a double identity...The stories I can tell!

The 3rd column is used for expenses I might add later, or to add up expenses that will be multiplied (the identical bedrooms). 

I would never recommend granite,  the laminate now looks identical and gets lots of great feedback!   

Three investors who all have $100k cash come to a town with 3 identical streets that each have 10 identical duplexes for $100k each.

It looked identical to me.  

On the pro side, it can hide your identity and adds a layer of difficulty.
