Now I plan to build a real estimate investment portfolio focusing on a buy and hold strategy (BRRRR) through multifamily properties surrounding the Snohomish County and Everett area (north of Seattle).

We have this approximately 4 in wide “trim” along the perimeter of the room.

Closing costs also very per lender so I would recommend asking for a loan estimate and looking at the bottom line.

This would be quite the analytical marvel to even effectively ESTIMATE this with any reasonable level of certainty/confidence (even for someone appropriately trained). 

We always send a contractor through to test everything and if broken, give estimates to repair and we can determine then if it is tenant damage and what charges to the security deposit should be.

While it does not cash flow, you are at least earning money by paying off that mortgage which is approximately 60% principal. 

Quote from @Chad Verde: To clarify, $200k in equity so estimating cash out refi around $130kLike some wise advise here, this is not cash this is equity.

Get estimates for all repairs that are above fair wear and tear in advance. 

However, it's essential to fully comprehend the terms and conditions and carefully estimate cash flow, factoring in potential market fluctuations.FHA Loan and Work History:Waiting for another year to establish a two-year work history for better FHA loan approval terms is a patient strategy.

I recently sent approximately $30,000 worth of postcards a couple months ago.
