While everything looks relatively newer, we are noticing black patches, streaks, and circles the size of a fist.

If market rent is $2000 a month and you add the bump of say $250, that's $2250. 

There will always be bumps in the road...that's just REI.  

I am looking for market value price and am not looking for anything that has been renovated to bump the price.

There are many speed bumps, deals that just fall apart, and people who change their mind on you along the way.

If this is your fist eviction I recommend asking around for a good attorney that isn't going to overcharge you. 

Bumping this just to see if anyone has any recent experience as an investor with the company. 

I don't know if it's kosher to do this on this platform, but I want to bump this post.

Tad bit annoying but on the other token often times they are sweet and nice then other times we have bumped heads.

3) I'd go with Vacancy of 8.33% as this will mean you save up one month of rent every 12 months, 4) 3% repairs seems low, if it were me I'd at least bump it up to 5%, and 5) even though you plan to live there and self-manage there may come a day where you want/need to outsource management of your properties so it's usually a good idea to budget for management costs like @Doug Shapiro was saying.
