I am using financing , so hard to get deals in decent neighborhoods.

I am just beginning to analyze properties for my first investment property, but I am unsure of these four things:Vacancy - I am using 8%, but I am curious what others see in Bethlehem (18018/18015) since some research indicated a lower rates and others much higher.Leasing Up Costs - I am using 1 month's rent (while my wife and I will attempt to handle this we are still calculating it into our analysis since we live in NYC and will likely need some help here).

I am using Quicken RPM for my 2 properties, it seems to work well for most of what I need.

You recall, he was a scammer and posed as a music teacher not knowing anything about giving instruction.

I am using private financing and have provided a POF letter.

I am using virtual assistants to call FSBOs on craigslist to get leads for me.
