I think your above response is excellent advice as a metric for any investor, but may be a little tough to track as you noted.Much of what I talked about was more in line with what a property management company can actually tell you as an investor and how you can use that data to dig deeper.

plans for Flipping, and Single Families to start require deeper pockets to start.

I'll have to dig deeper into it.

With piers going 20 feet down built in to that price, deeper is charged for each additional foot.If you own the house and it's just a rental with no plans of selling it then I would do the weight and see what happens game.

Your goal is to spark interest, once you do that an investor will dig deeper into the merits of the deal.One concern that you will have in working woith realtors is that they want to know that you can close the deal and will usually want a preapproval and proof of funds.

I have a friend that was sued by one of his clients, and he just went ahead and countersued, and he had much deeper pockets to drag things out just to make a point 

My guess is that they have a deeper understanding of the law than the clowns and predators on the wholesale circus train and silence is not approval.Do a quick read on "Tort Law" on the internet written by attorneys, any attorney, read the Black's Law site.

What if two years from now they go up to the attic and notice an exhaust fan that terminated in the attic and not vented outside, or they wanted to add a receptacle somewhere and hired an electrician, and the electrician told them they can't and because the junction box has too many conductors in it and it exceeds the box fill capacity, so they have to pay to open the wall for a bigger, deeper box or piggy back another box...do they send you the bill too?

And using the 50% rule is just a start, you can use the BP rental calculator to get some deeper detail on the numbers.

Did not include wife on the credit check ( although we know she works but is on maternity leave.) looks like a couple on a good 3 year trend in job progression but very rough past ( divorce, child support and some bad debt.) how much deeper do we dig ?
