Just trying not to kill my budget in the meantime.

The answer will depend on your budget level of experience etc.

So, I would always budget SOMETHING for those expenses. 

I came across the following off-market deal in Granite falls, WAPurchase price: 125kRehab budget: 100kARV: 325kExisting mobile house is permitted and is currently 3 Bed 2 Bath 1050 sqft house with a septic1) Is my rehab budget ( including tear down, ground up, permit costs) correct ?

But I suggest this to people with bank accounts too. lots of bank accounts now have built in budgeting elements where you can create categories so you can track your spending. 

Is it simply not in your budget?

You should still budget for property management especially if you plan on leaving after 1 year

With that in mind most of your contractors capable of handling the larger projects, that is to say completing them on time and in line with your budget, are going to cost a premium.

I suppose you can use median age of housing in a market for an extremely wide overview as well.Vacancy rate: Turnover budget is your primary capex expense on virtually every property, and if units are turning over faster, you need to include a bump for that.

Does $xxx work for their budget?"
