First-timer flippers usually need to add about a 20 percent overage on cost and time just for things that go wrong on the first one.

Meaning the lab looks at the sample and "estimates" what percent asbestos they think the sample contains.

The percent of LTR tenants that have not paid their rent varies by source but is usually listed as greater than 33% are delinquent in their rent. 

I tend to think of systems like Beds24 or BookingAutomation for larger portfolios, but their UX is awful and there’s so many toggles/switches you could spend a lifetime just learning all the options.

Banks in my area offer renovation loans for 85% of project cost (purchase plus rehab). i use private money to make up the difference on the renovation costs. i have also used this strategy and instead of private money, used zero percent interest credit cards. if you have good credit and are disciplined, credit cards can be a great source of capital. many offer 0% interest for 12 months or more. i use the bank product to buy and start the rehab, and put the difference on the credit card. when the property sells (or refinances) i pay off both. 

Pricing strategy on sales for me is always ask for more than you think you deserve by a percent or 2 then lower price quickly if it doesn't move/ you don't have many agent visits (4 per week or less).

S&P500 has a lifetime return of over 9%.
