Knock on their door and let them know they need to be repositioned so they end in their yard-not yours. 

I'm trying to put a rough SOW together but keep running into a wall with rehab budget estimates.

Don't run numbers based on STR or MTR, run the numbers based on the worse case scenario which would be LTR.

I like all people would like to get it all but we know it is not possible.What do yall want to get for cash flow per door to see a deal as good?

New floors, updated baths, kitchens and garage doors.

There have been other sponsors that have sounded interesting to me, but I usually listen while I'm driving or running and can't easily stop and write down the name of the sponsor, seems like it would be more effective advertising to list them in the show notes, or to have one page where BP lists all the podcast sponsors so you can go back to get more information.

I realize that they were just trying to sell me something at all cost and been chasing me with phone calls/text messages.On that note, I wouldn't mind to have someone more experienced than I am to run my deals through and pick their brains from time to time.

Many of the property managers talk to each other and compare notes and share marketing ideas and 'run comps' on each other.The other option would be the 'enemy method' to search for similar size home within your community and others close by with similar amenities and scour their calendars. 

I personally run my numbers in reverse for a 1.4 DSCR.  

Buy and Hold: Norfolk (Best Cashflow Potential), VB (Townhomes tend to work well, Green Run is a great area for cashflow), Chesapeake, Newport News, Suffolk (Less Military presence which is why i would put last.)STR: VB (in the proper zones if you have the money $850K+), Norfolk(Ocean View area specifically but have to watch out for the AICUZ restrictions), Leave the restPart of that decision process is distance to that I would need to travel to deal with rehabs, I hate dealing with the tunnels so I would almost always pick places on the peninsula last since I am based in Chesapeake.
