You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

Also I have not worked out the financing yet. if I just use my cash then the Cash on Cash drops to 8 or 9% and that would be below my Cash on Cash target.Generally speaking and of course just numbers I picked out of the air for reference when running numbers in my head, I am looking for Cash on Cash greater than 15%, high probability of long term occupancy, and no expected major Capex for 2.5 years after purchase and purchase time repairs which I would add into the cash on cash evaluation before pulling the trigger.So there are some more details to be worked out in my head but being it is my first one and only learning what I could from youtube videos I thought I would get some feedback.With all that said, in my head it seems like it could be a good start.Thanks again Jaycee and Gavin for your feedback.

Last time I visited San Clemente, my uber driver told me that he has not had a heater or an air conditioner functioning in his home for the last 16 years, and doesn't miss it, with very rare summer exceptions.If you have the money, I imagine it's a pretty good place to be.

Our house down there is the same way, with a metal roof, open air, then a concrete floor or roof above our 2nd floor living quarters. 

HUD does not factor into the rent other amenities that might be included in the rent such as garage, basement, fieplace, central air, pool etc, that might command higher rent in the non-Section 8 market place. 

I know Air/VRBO are strongly pushing for hosts to offer non-cancellable bookings at a 10% discount. 

You can use bat insulation or spray foam, which has the added benefit of giving you an air-tight seal and also keeps the bugs out. 

And also being next to a base Im thinking about short term renting, or Air BNB How did you finance this deal?
