@Dannielle Givens - I haven't heard of a property sitting on the back of the lot negatively impacting the value, although I'm sure it's a variable the appraiser considers.

Decided to pull back because of these variables, but now that interest rates have been raised aggressively I would assume demand has now cooled and that homeowners have a little more negotiating power.I'm sitting on cash at the moment, so the interest rate environment doesn't impact my decision making.

I knew someone who's an investor that created a spreadsheet in Excel to calculate the ROI of a property with tons of variables.

Vacancies, non-paying tenants, late paying tenants, unexpected capital expenditures and variable maintenance expenses will inevitably negatively impact your monthly and yearly numbers. 

The risk is that these are often variable rates (mine is a fixed rate HELOC), but just set yourself up to pay off the HELOC quickly and you can mitigate the risk. 

Determining whether to do a cost segregation study or not has a lot variables.

A: There isn't necessarily a pre determined cap rate to stay above a 1.25, the cost of debt is the variable.

There's not a category for it currently, and I assume that's because there are a variables to how the Basis is calculated.

Reviews, pricing/rates/service fees paid to online service, occupancy, etc are obvious ones, but I'm sure there are variables we're not aware of.

@Keegan SchaubKeegan, Other than times and places around local Ski resorts, the Summer is the main tourist season.Skiing is weather dependent which is variable, so that season is short within the winter.just IMHO.Cheers,Buddy
