Redfin and Zillow are garbage numbers.

Hi, Got a chance to buy a quad and wanted to see if you guys agreed with my math and thought process.1 unit 2/1 rent $5252 unit 1/1 upstairs rent $4101 unit 1/1 downstairs rent $425.Owner pays garbage & water/sewer.

But I want the tenant to feel some 'pain' if they break a garbage disposal (for example).  

There are a lot of folks out their doing some amazing things in their businesses the question is what is right for you and your given situation. 99% of info is garbage for what you want to do.

Re negotiated garbage and snow removal/lawn care.

Garbage ($36) + Sewer ($14) totals $50 yet it lists $100.Also how do you figure lowering property taxes from $11,628/year to $9,600/year?

As it turned out later that was actually still a little underestimated...Most of the stuff filling up the house was actually not garbage, many items were still packaged or had never been used.

Depending on how they determine LTV it could be absolute garbage, because you would need to know what the value is now- and that is only something someone familiar with the market can quickly tell you. 

I also post on FB marketplace but it is mostly garbage applicants and a waste of time however I'll eventually get someone on there so I keep trying.
