However, they approach financial health from different angles.The 50% Rule is a quick estimate that suggests operating expenses (excluding mortgage principal and interest) will roughly equal 50% of the property's gross income.The DSCR is a more precise calculation (Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service) that determines if a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations.Deal example:- Class C middle class neighborhood- 4bd / 2ba single family house- ARV: 190k- Purchase: 105k- Rehab: 35k- Market rent: $1,400-1,525- Section 8: $1,475- Property manager: 10%- Taxes: 125 month- Insurance $1250 yr- HOA: $55 month- purchased and rehabbed with all cash.

You know just as well as I do that the entry level SFH turn key model is nothing but a money grab for the turn key providers and PM's who ultimately manage the properties for them.

I am just a beginner wholesaler so I haven't done much marketing/lead management yet.

Capacity and Tolerance. 1) Capacity: how many people can you comfortably fit in the property, is there room to add more, or add more value to the tenants to increase rent.2) Tolerance: How many people are you comfortable living with, if there are vacancies are you able to handle that.House hacking is an amazing path to homeownership, and a nice low barrier to entry into self managing your properties.

Reach out to a LOCAL property manager that knows the rental market BEFORE you go under contract!

Using an unexpected repair as justification for not caring about cashflow as much as appreciation doesn't really address the issue, especially when appreciation also operates on the idea that the property's condition doesn't decline relative to comps.From what I understand about REI and cashflow, cashflow should cover not only PITI, but maintenance, repair reserves, prop management, etc.

The rental yield is pretty low compared to its value, and selling now while it’s in great condition could help you avoid the stress of managing it or dealing with wear and tear.
