From that amount i want to subtract all my costs to get my desired purchase price, which includes repairs, closing costs, early profits, marketing expenses, holding expenses and or interest.As I mentioned in the last post, I only want to do cosmetic to moderate repairs on a house, so the max I'll put into repairs is $15KClosing costs will run me about $1,500I aways give myself a guaranteed bit of profits early of at least $10k.Marketing expense is the one item that most investors screw up on (besides repairs).
