I typed '@far' to get your name popped up.Oh just to add a little bit of my .2 to what we are talking about here...the 50% rule indicates that the 50% of your total monthly rent should cover your total estimated monthly expenses.

Is there a good place to look at what homes are renting for and get a better estimate?

I have been presented with the following real estate possibility and I am open to suggestions, opinions and/or advise.Home #1- SFH is Brick 3bd/ 1 bth- 1100 sqft-2 Car Garage/ No need for Rehab-Currently Rented at $735 a month with long term tenants paying all utilities-Estimated Market Value $50KAnnual Taxes $500.00Home #2-SFH is Frame 3bd/1 bth- 1000 sqft-No Garage/ No need for Rehab-Currently Rented at $600 a month with long term tenants paying all utilities-Estimated Market Value $30KAnnual Taxes $778.00 Both homes are being offered as a package deal for 45K Cash.

I did low rental estimates. 

Hi Friends,I am analyzing a deal for wholesale and wondering how I estimate holding costs if I don't know the rehabber's financing.

It’s a calculator that has a library of pre-configured financial (and other) calculations that are categorized into groups:Real Estate (Property Calculator, Mortgage, Gross Rent Multiplier, Cap Rate)Business (Depreciation, Breakeven)Finance (Time value of money, Commercial Leases, Loans, Cash Flows, Auto Lease)Investments (Bonds, ROI, 401k, IRA)Construction (Drywall estimator, crown molding angles, stairs)Conversions (Date, area, length)There are many more templates available in the app than what I have listed above.

(conservative estimate, not rosy picture) Do you have the money to finish your house?
