I have an opportunity to get a SFR for 45k that is in a rough area but newly renovated with new hvac, water heater, and roof. rent should be 750 per month, taxes 650, ins 900. assuming 35% for capex and repairs and 10% for PM. assuming 8% vacancy factor and 5% leasing.

Remember the cost for connecting water/sewer or maybe in your area it is well and septic.Great job.

I don't have anything listed for water and sewer or garbage, because I am returning that to the tenants with a flat fee.

Owner is currently paying water, sewer and garbage, but I excluded those expenses and instead will make that a fee for the tenants to pay and added it under other income.

Number one on the list...Colorado Springs.

Ours is in an area that is primarily summer only but with continuous improvements and a good rental manager our utilization is increasing into spring and fall.Best part about vacation Rentals, no concerns about evictions.Worst part, extremely hard to cash flow with traditional LTV rates.

Hi all, had some bad water damage in a duplex of ours in Rockford and we've cleared everything out, almost down to studs and are looking for a GC who can do it all (carpentry, drywall, subfloor, paint, plumbing, etc). 

I'm sure it's not as easy as walking in and asking for credit.I live in Colorado Springs, CO, so if anybody has a bank or someone to speak with about this, that would be great.Thank you all for your time a input into this question.

i have an investor thats interested in buying the property lined up. the property in located in spring hill florida. im going to check out that article.

I think I will take your advice and not raise rents until spring.
