If you could rent it for $2300 once you pay taxes and insurance and other costs, you’d have to use the BP Calculator, I think you’d have a nice cash flow to help with your mother’s expenses.Of course you’d have an upfront cost to get it rent ready but Home Depot and Lowe’s have inexpensive good quality laminate plank flooring that’s easy to maintain and lasts so much longer than carpet.

Congrats, you can find good quality home inspector for your area at NACHI.org or ASHI, these are the biggest home inspector associations in the nation.

I will also note that the maintenance cost is going to be dependent on the types of tenants and the quality of the property.

Hey! Wajeehah is here from Dallas, TX. I'm fully focused and ready for my new life in real estate investing. I look forward to connecting with others from all over Texas that are connected with BiggerPockets and Apply...

If not, does anyone have advice on how to find a quality CPA?

Found a great, high-quality tenant paying top-of-the-market rent.We moved from Iowa in 1998 and our first AZ house was in Chandler and we still have strong ties!

Unfortunately, reputable, quality contractors are hard to come by and likely won't be found on any public forum like this one.
