Hope this makes sense to you, stay away from overkill with your calculators, you knowledge of the market takes time, not so much analysis. :)

A few thoughts:- A very good inspector shouldn't run you more than $450, so you're $1200 budget is overkill- In terms of costs, don't forget all the costs on the back end: paying buyer's closing costs (up to 6% these days if you want a quick sale), realtor commissions of up to 6% (if you have an agent), home warranty for about $500 (many buyers are asking for them), a termite letter for $50-100 (if the buyer's lender requires it), etc.- To do a low-end total interior gut of an 1100 sq ft house shouldn't costs more than $35K, so you're $52K budget should be fine, assuming there isn't any structural work that needs to be done, and the roof is in satisfactory condition.- Don't trust Zillow for any comps.

@Kevin ManzI’m pretty sure they have a pro series where you can make master keys but you swap out the barrels (still easier and cheaper than locksmith, but overkill for me.)I only have 13 properties with a current average stay of 3.65 years so I just switch between 3 keys.

The "b" side is where i will have the address and postage and i thought that putting my message on both sides would be overkill, as well as it may look cluttered when the address and stamp are added.
