The expenses for each should be estimated, line by line, and item by item from the ground up ... after all, when you check out at home depot or ask a contractor for a bid, they don't ask what the place rents for before they calculate the bill, and neither should an investor :) ... and also a friendly reminder of a previous point made: cash flow is an important thing, but it is not the only thing ...

This downtown could easily convert back to horse, wagon and gunslingers in a heartbeat....and speaking of reverting back to the 1800's ... my husband and I are full-time taking action on pivoting to 100% self-sufficiency (large gardens, animals, harvesting rainwater, etc..) to take care of ourselves, family, and neighbors. 

I do not get any money from TurboTenant, nor am I an owner or investor in the company.They have a referral program where they will send me a $25 home depot gift card for a referral - you don't have to use the referral codeStessaStessa is a website that I use to track all my expenses.It is another free site and you can pull reportsYou even can upload receipts.Roofstock recently purchased StessaCompletely freeZillow Rental ManagerI use this to collect rent.Free for the landlordTenant only pays a fee if they use a credit card to pay rent.

If your lock ever messes up the company will send you a new lock or take it back to Home Depot they can reprogram it for you in most cases.  

I've already put in a dehumidifier in the crawl space that I bought at Home Depot for 1,000 square feet.   

The register people at Home Depot hate me because when I come through the line with a lot of items, I have to separate them out by payment card and I sometimes stand at the register fumbling for the right debit card.  

Use a large credit union or Home Depot credit card for materials and you supply the labor as a pass thru from your companyAs long as you are all in at 75% of the ARV after rehab, you can get all your money back through a cash out refi after 6 months of seasoning. 

Do you know any females who have a good decorating genetic (50% of the renters are females).If so, maybe head on down to Home Depot with her, and take some pics and note the part numbers of items that will make a pleasant attractive look for your project.Then rather that let somebody who really doesn't care about the marketability of your units make the choices, you will have a much more marketable offer for the prospective renters.Use extend length oval toilets vs the round ones, and do not put carpet in the bathroom.When buying think marketability of the unit and ease of cleaning as well as current tastes of potential renters.You want to have a marketable offer for your prospective rents.Good Luck! 

You also will not garnish the highest market rents.If you're concerned about price then buy a scratched on from lowes or home depot.
