However, promoting a $35,000 West Side Home in a disposition effort has proven challenging as:-Access is restricted until final walk through before closing-A non refundable deposit is required (required by dispo company)-Only pics of the outside of the home-Home will be vacant at closingThe home looks decent from the outside & allocating for a full rehab on an 850 SqFt SFH, home est. retail value after reno around 150kLooking for thoughts of other investors & or realtors on this one as I thought this one would fly off the marketplace....  

Repairs and Maintenance: What percentage of Gross Income are you allocating to this category in your operations?

That said, given my fact pattern of a condotel- how do I even try to allocate each individual who might be employed by the management company vs the number of units in the building.

But as long as the allocation toward the land equals your reinvestment target you can purchase both as part of the 1031. 

And if you want you could allocate your proceeds into multiple replacement properties if you want.

It DOES account for allocations such as vacancy, Pm etc..   

Now the equation is as follows:$565,000 (gains net of capital gains taxes and sales costs) + $550,000 (her additional equity in the house now that we know she owns it outright) = $1,115,000 of capital deployed in this investment.Expenses are less because there is not mortgage payment, but we still need to allocate 30% to other expenses (property taxes, OpEx, CapEx, etc.).

I have allocated a budget of over $5,000 for furnishing the house, and my monthly payments (PITI) amount to $790.Given that I reside in Austin, TX, I am a bit worried about managing remotely.

The IRS has tiers of accepted cost allocation techniques for real estate - a total of 6 tiers! 

max the 401k, but change allocation to bond.
