Look at your projected income, expenses, etc. and estimate what your taxable income would be.  

My net income here is $845.My estimated mortgage payment, assuming a 20% down payment and with taxes, insurance, etc. comes out to be $1,464.The cash flow here is quite negative: $845 minus $1,464 comes out to be a negative cash flow of $619.00 per month!

Estimating snow removal at around $1500/year.

What my PM does when there is a large amount of work is give me an itemized estimate. 

The values are estimated to double soon.

If not, how does one accumulate equity in a home?

We can help you with your estimating and repairs.

Full-timers want more storage, will start to accumulate plants, outdoor furniture and anything else you will let them keep around their RVs.  

Not sure if it's allowed but if you have a contractor contact who could help you build an estimate of repairs it would be helpful to leave some copies on the kitchen counter as well as loading a copy of it up on the documents section of your MLS.

I've shot off a few emails to try and get some estimates but I'd like to hear what you guys think?
