Instead, if it is some number way above your budget, I would recommend possibly slimming it down but being smart, and precise with how you do it.The last thing I will say is you do appear to be targeting large cities with already tough competitive markets, so just take that into account during your marketing.

normally your county does a annual chart.  

I would like to have a more precise rental value per apt than $2500-$3000/mo. 

I read a number of reports mostly related to Strategic Outlooks and here are a few numbers if you can see my chart below without lines..

No one else knows your criteria like you do and you can market to meet it precisely.

Adding an account for each project could eventually result in a huge and mostly obsolete chart of accounts.

Based on the past 10 year charts, the area is at it's low.

That should provide some more precise numbers.

@Neil Schlimgen I can answer this question will very precise information.With a "conforming, conventional" loan (loans governed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) they will require you to have 2 years of commission and bonus to use that income. 

I would put in a precise number, 131,550.
