Taking into account many other factors will ultimately determine a good cost estimate. 

The success of a short sale will be dependent upon a number of factors......a real hardship on the part of the borrowers, the number and type of liens and who holds them.

Location, amenities, and any number of other factors will play into it.Don't be afraid to contact the seller and ask for historical expenses and turnover rates.

If you want the quick formula for your SFR:PGI (potential gross income)-VCL (vacancy and credit losses)+OI (other income--laundromat, cable etc)=EGI (effective gross income)-OE (operating expenses)=NOI (net operating income)If you get financing, you do not factor that into this equation.

I guess you have to factor your commute time also. 

Will a conventional lender use the 3k or the 1.2k to factor my DTI?

Since you only intend to do one deal at a time (now) understand the job job of your mail piece: it's ONLY job should be to get the prospect to take the next action step, such as call you, write you, go to a website or landing page, etc.There are so many factors to consider. 500 mail pieces is statistically too small to really derive any actionable feedback.

Any major factors here to be concerned with as I model this?
