Don't skimp out or try to get it band aided cheaply. 

Don't skimp on that. 

My point is, you're skimping on your analysis, and any time you leave out pertinent information in your analysis, your results are suspect.

I won't skimp on certain comfort items like the beds, coffee maker, etc.

The rehab is a number we can not control much, sure you can cut corners or skimp on certain repairs, but in general rehab cost are what they are.

I had a lease that protected her more than me in that situation....lesson learned is don't skimp on a good lawyer and update your lease as situations arrise.

I’m not trying to skimp on repairs and the first R in the BRRRR process but if it’s just a matter of me calling 5 banks and ordering appraisals (5*$500=2,500) - that is allot cheaper and will take less time then doing repairs.

It's entirely possible that the property taxes will go up after the sale or other trailing costs are showing lower than normal because the owner is skimping on necessary expenses to inflate the numbers in advance of a sale.  

Also don't skimp on the inspections, it's best to know before hand everything you can to minimize the things that you run across that you weren't aware of.Also have multiple exit strategies....  

I would not skimp on this step, especially when new to investing.
