It is still a time crunch.

You have to make a call what's your time worth as BRRRR is active and involving vs TK which could be complete hands off with all the ducks aligned by the TK provider. you just have to collect rent from day of closing...If someone is newbie and have some time crunch but have cash to spend for DP, I would recommend going TK route to get some landlord experience (it's not completely passive as masses think), then slowly build a network, working relationship with that provider and other key people in the target market and then plunge into BRRRR side. 

I'm getting a bit stuck on the number crunching though, and thought I'd see what you all are doing in regards to percentage of gross rental income being set aside for maintenance, cap-ex, management and vacancy?

So, obviously I'd be crunching the numbers to see if it works, that goes as a given.  

I would just ensure that you crunch every figure possible and call providers about monthly outgoings, don't take the sellers word on that.

We bought new 6 years ago and everything is still basically in new condition.I'm also under no time crunch.

Hi,I'm just starting out, starting to crunch numbers looking for a deal.

From crunching our numbers with 5 different mentors/friends, it was clear - this was going to be a cash flowing machine. 

I'd like to be optimistic and say that we will see a buyers market this year - so absolutely still be crunching numbers and keeping your contacts close so you can be prepared to jump on what may be some great opportunities in the next year.Best of luck to you!!

I just wanted to crunch numbers to make sure I wasn't getting myself into a bad deal.
