Such as ARV, and the repairs, vacancies and cap expenditures.

By deal making making sense, I am referring to a one that is priced below market value and is cashflow positive, after accounting for PITI, PMI, maintenance, utilities, vacancies, capital expenditures, acquisition & disposition costs, etc. ; further, a deal that after conservative calculations can yield an above-market cash on cash ROI. 

Profit and Loss by Class lists my revenues and expenses but of course does NOT include principal payments and capital expenditures.

Account Closed yeah I've been selling a lot of fourplexes lately and they should all cash flow, even with appropriate numbers for vacancy, utilities, repairs, capital expenditures, and property management.

No idea if that happens in your area, but the seller could get regular monthly paychecks and avoid large capital expenditure taxes by being the bank for you.

@Abraham Anderson Good post.For capital expenditures I've seen many recommend setting aside 10 % of their gross income.

He talks a lot about how he estimates vacancy, repairs, and cap expenditures.3.

We have three small children, and the less capital expenditures and maintenance to consider, the better. 

This would be a big capital expenditure, but would likely drive a 20% increase in NOI and thus an increase in value if the bank were to assess the property based on local Cap rates. - -Joe - regarding your feedback about complying with market rents, are you saying that the NOI for our property might not be as relevant as the current market rental rates for similar properties?

once those utilities go bad, your not going to be able to sustain the capital expenditure to replace each of the well's or the waste Water treatment system.
