- we have a separate business bank account that we could receive payments from - we have tracked all renovation costs and expenses, though they were done personally and not through the business

Sucks, but it's fast and less expensive than getting an eviction started.I was in this situation before where a previous owner did NOT have a post close stay in the contract but the extended family decided they weren't moving out.

Population growth, strong job growth, multisector industry/economy (Never invest in an area propped up by a single industry, or worse, a single company), landlord and business friendly, strong development, strong sports teams (even minor and farm teams), lower crime rates than national average, and good schools/colleges nearby.

I always wondered how taking an overall average of RE appreciation and comparing it to anything is a true measure of investment when including good markets with those that are collapsing.

Plus with commissions, you have write-offs for expenses to reduce your tax burden. 4.

I'm creating an AI-augmented tool to bring property & market analysis, lead generation, and marketing development to the average investor.

Right now it's an average of about 6.3%.Any suggestions on asking for a cap, how to incentivize without a % and any other related issues I should pay attention to?

As like you said it gets very expensive and seems like an accounting nightmare. 

I will be moving out of state and I will be bringing on a PM company.After running the numbers, I would be facing negative cash flow every month after accounting for all the expenses (Annually about $1,000 - and that's the rosy estimate)  Is it worth it? 

I decided to fix up (20+K expenses in the last 3 months) and have signed the realtor contract last week to sell.
