How much do you typically budget each month for maintenance and repairs?

If it's a sure deal as in 70%-repairs and minus your wholesale fee is the sales price. you shouldn't have a problem.

Figure in 10% for vacancy’s, 10% for capex, 10% for repairs, 10% contingency.

Then he taught me how to make perfect repairs.

Issue is my credit is damaged working on repairing it.

(in a row)I'm not sure all this impacts. who is responsible for snow removal, repairs, etc?

It is for this reason that I never let tenants do repairs and the fact that they may damage something else in the process. 

I expect I'll accrue a bunch of tax losses which I can start taking (using the $25k rule) once I start renting the property for a full calendar year.Now for my actual tax questions:Will I regret doing the repairs before actually getting a renter, i.e. should I post it on Craigslist before I start paying for these repairs so it doesn't get classed as start-up expenses? 

I think a lot of wholesalers lose quality leads by only offering cash at 70% minus repairs!

The SFR I intend to buy in Austin is new construction so my CapEx and repair costs should be minimal in the next 10-15 years.
