This gives you a percentage.

However, if i got less than 80% of replacement cost, any payout whatsoever would never be higher than that percentage.

Is it  percentage of the rental amount or a flat fee?

One idea is that I buy into a percentage of the property based on the amount he needs to get ahead of the curve,  with an option to sell at a given time (say 3 years).  

Well I have a good friend that is willing to help me out with the money to fix it and then I have to apply for the HELOC loan bc a percentage has to be done before applying FIR IT.

Are you saying that after all expenses you property cash flows for $400 per month (except you haven't added in a percentage for cap ex?) 

Does the 88% net HUD rule still apply in each instance, or will the typically acceptable percentage drop on each price reduction?

I am fairly sure we are charged a lower percentage of rent than you quoted but they are very well compensated on our units as the units average ~$16k/month rent with near 100% occupancy.We are fairly happy with Vacasa and not contemplating changing PMs.  

AI to respond to prospects asking questions that could be answered if they weren't too lazy to read adsAnd for the record, I do think signs in the yard are often all that's needed if you present in the town where your property is or have a property manager.We stopped using signs because the percentage of inquiries that were a waste our time was significantly higher than that with online ads.

After all, most investors had the credit, capital, etc. to purchase not only their primary residence, but at least one income property, whereas most tenants can't buy a home if they wanted to.I think that the most effective lobbying we can do is for more avenues to address "professional tenants" who are actually a small percentage of the tenant population, but cause 95% of our problems.
