I'm paying $25K with estimated $900 - $1000 mothly rent. 

I probably should have mentioned in my post that I'm really just trying to practice with the calculators to get a sense for my rough estimating.

Id love to go into more detail about any of the above topics, but to keep things short-ish, I have recently hired someone that is going to be doing the things I havent had time to do to really grow the business.

Have you priced out the actual cost of rehab, or is that an estimate?

It is estimated they put lien on 9,000 properties each month.

Hello to all the members in the Bigger Pockets network,My name is Udit Multani and I am a real estate investor, about 10 months old in the industry with previous experience being a Construction Manager and construction cost estimator for various construction projects in California.

I know when you are running the numbers on a deal you put an estimated % into vacancy costs, but how does this truly help in the event of a vacancy?

Is .5%-1% of the loan a good rule of thumb for estimating PMI?

On top of that they are relatively easy to sell, where something like a multi family has a smaller buyer pool.So back to the details..Purchasing my first condo with $30k cash, then another $10k, puts me at $40k total investment, I rent out for $800 a month, after all my costs I'm looking at $450 cash flow per month.

Let me share a few details to give you a better feel for the situation.THE DETAILS:FIRST, I'm a buy-and-hold, very part-time investor.
