Since you plan to keep it the ARV doesn't matter in this calculation.

Hi everyone, joined BP last year for all the freebee calculators and finding myself a bit over my head and in need of some advice...Have a commercial property bought on land contract, 0 down, 5%, amoritized over 30 years with 6 year balloon for 120k last year.

The numbers only look like they work because the calculation is only as accurate as the numbers we plug in. 954.00 for 12 months worth of maintenance on a duplexin Cleveland?

When you buy the property to fix&flip, you always add Realtor fee as part of your closing cost to calculate the MAO.

Quote from @Levi Perl: Hi,Curious if anyone has what to say in terms of how to calculate which one is more worth it: to cash out refi on a Long term rental now at 70% LTV, and walk away with X amount of positive cash AFTER paying all debt, (X is a positive number and significant amount for me), which will allow me to potential get another long term rental and grow portfolio faster, or wait 4 months and cash out 80% LTV, giving me DOUBLE than X. 

I think your best approach is to pretend you are the investor yourself, calculate build cost (mortgage with interest) + Maint / cap expenses/ management fees according to your zoning and then compare that to the average rent in that neighborhood.

Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:1.

But what I found ironic are:- Andy, who has been working full time in RE for 4 years, are finally going to make $50K passive annual income from rental (with a flawed net profit calculation that didn't income vacancy rate, maintenance fee); and he said after attending the $39,500 program, he paid total $80K--poor Andy didn't even make his initial investment back after four years and yet they are demonstrating him as a success case.- In fact, Andy is now a "trainer"--which seems to me, training is their stream of income, not real estate- Andy revealed that he found his deal leads through words of mouth; what's ironic is the instructor kept on selling the importance of the company's Elite Success Software and told us we can't make deal without itInstead of teaching something, they spent the whole third day (at least until 1 pm when I finally decided to leave) selling the program.

But don't take my word for it; do the calculations for yourself;4.

What are ways you have seen landlords calculate rent raises?
