Should be fairly straightforward You know the cost you'll pay for the property The rate and term (ex 7% for a 30yr fixed)Property taxes - this can be looked up via https://atlas.phila.gov/(If you are house hacking you van take advantage of the $80k homestead reduction)Insurance - this may be a bit tricky unless you reached out to a broker already Is there an HOA? 

One thing that would be helpful to investors from the professionals is hard data, the statement numbers don't lie, carries weight as long as we do not make them lie.

Hello, I'm with Lennar New Homes in San Antonio, I have Homes available now to investors with incentives and price reductions all over San Antonio, New Braunfels and Seguin!! 

I did okay in Oct, Nov & Dec but those were after I did massive price reduction 

Tax forgiveness: Provides a reduction in tax liability, and forgives some taxpayers of their liabilities even if they have not paid their Pennsylvania personal income tax.This sounds like one of those deals where maybe someone passed away.

You will have a MAJOR difference in sound reduction. 

So, a 5% reduction is CHEAPER than another month of vacancy!

I could be wrong, I honestly think this is such a systemic change that it’s hard to predict the ripples, but I find it extraordinary hard to believe this doesn’t lead to a substantial reduction in commissions, I’m literally taking with a client in an hour, I like the guy, I suspect he may be a repeat customer and I’m not gonna take any chance I lose him over a few dollars, so I’ll negotiate with him, I suspect other agents will take the same approach, especially given the real risk buyers just walk and go unrepresented, whether that’s a good idea or not l, it will happen.

I will come back to this and post more but finding a good realtor in Investment world is worth its weight in GOLD! 

Glad to help, I had two deals under contract in Cleveland but once inspection came back and the agents GC walked through we identified more cost to rehab than factored and we asked for price reduction but sellers held at their price and couldn't come to negotiation so they were released.As far as where I am currently, I want immediate cash flow so I have switched to buy and hold.. goal being light rehab.
