I have plenty of experience in new construction as a painting contractor and assistant project manager for a custom builder here in Bend.

I quickly realized that rentals on Oahu will not break even unless its a miracle.

Not sure where you are located but your probably looking at least a couple hundred bucks to have this custom made for you.

@Travis Quickel  I personally don't see any deal here. 

In the new house I had to do a Full gut and refinish in the basement, refinish and lay matching new hardwood throughout the entire house, as well a a full custom kitchen, and updated the bathroom as well.

This was all done within the span of about 3 months.My current W2 job provides me with enough income that I should be able to scrape together enough money for an FHA down payment quickly, I have a FICO of 780+, I’m in a buyer’s market from what I can tell [Topeka, KS].

The various calculator are a fantastic resource which I've been using to try analyse a bunch of deals to develop my own knowledge and experience.I've been struggling to quickly and accurately estimate the Variable Landlord-Paid Expenses for rental properties. 

I have found the easiest way forward is to work with the tenant so the resolution is quick and painless. . 

If prices are rising quickly, it might work out.

Sometimes in a small business everything starts growing quickly and you find yourself unprepared!
