I already have income and expense tracking templates but everything is based on either purchase prices for comparison reasons or record keeping.

I will not have to avoid many areas but a few based on crime.

I thought I was going to own a few dozen single family properties before moving on to multi but after 3 I bought a 14 unit and have never looked back going bigger and bigger on every deal. if im not mistaken everything is already baked into that 775k except closing costs. and construction should take 6months tops. land is included (1acre) but if i had my own land builder said they'd take 65k off the price so 710k. yeah im just thinking whats best way to move forward. my first deal doesnt need to be perfect just want to build a nice base to build from

Do the math to find out what their usage was and bill them based on that.

I knew guys at Ft Benning who tried to run ads in the base newspaper.

Here are the numbers (rounded up):- Original purchase price ~ $180K- Current value ~$230K- Remaining balance ~ $140K- Mortgage payment + HOA ~ $1,300- Current rent = $1,700To calculate ROI at the current time should I base it on the initial investment amount (downpayment) or the current equity position?

Consulting with a local real estate advisor or financial planner can provide personalized insights based on your specific situation. 

Even in an area like Lynn (North Shore) the margin between gross monthly income and all expenses based on an $800k property would net us approx $-2500/mo.

This will vary based on the owners specific situation and tax regulations in your area.
