In your market you have a 4 to 6 time multiplier so keep that in mind. 

@Alex Perez  I'm currently doing all the mailing myself (printing, folding, stuffing, etc), with each piece of mail averaging around 70 cents (multiply by how much you will be sending).

To find the value that you will pay transfer tax on you basically need to use formula whichever is grater either amount you pay+other consideration or county valuation multiplied by CLR. 

So do I take $34,560 times the tax rates and multiply by 2, or is it just that one single payment, and Zillow was high on the dollar amount estimate?

The calculator is multiplying the monthly cash flow by 12 to get $16,980 of yearly cash flow.

We buy detached single family homes, but you can definitely go with a town-home if that's what you'd prefer- you'd want to focus on large square footage, high bedroom count, and consider avoiding luxury features that add cost like rooftop decks unless they're important to you.Typically house hacks operate similar to a home office deduction - take your eligible, deductible expenses and multiply them by the portion of the house that is a rental (for example, if you buy a 4 bedroom town-home and live in one bedroom you could deduct approximately 75% of eligible expenses).

There are also a lot of home owners that want to cash out in this high equity market before anything changes so they have more room to negotiate.Most owners who purchased these homes got a great deal 3-5 years ago and now are sitting on equity that has multiplied by 100.

Multiply that by the 12 houses you intend to flip in a year and you just dropped your income by 60K in one year because of an ordinance that is currently illegal in the State of Oregon.Account ClosedHow dare you bring logic and math into this!

Your financing costs and payment as well as your property tax will be based on price, so run 5 properties from minimum to maximum price for your criteria, that will give you your debt service multiplier.
