Besides- my wife is the only one who picks up the landline... 95% garbage calls.I self manage and I have found that the more that I engage myself, the less that a contact will annoy me- It is just part of the equation (they are few and far between).

How about water/sewer/garbage?

Otherwise, the problem is garbage in garbage out. :)

You would need to add up down payment+closing costs+holding costs during rehab+loan points/fees+Interest payments per length of the rehab+any other monthly expenses (city garbage)=Total cash needed to run the dealI'm trying to figure out what all needs to be included to calculate the total cash i need to bring to the deal in order to get it refinanced and have the tenants start paying the operating expenses. 

Are the units near the elevator or garbage shute - things that another owner (or renter) would find bothersome. 

I also hire labor for some demo, garbage removal, painting etc.
