On top of that a few "oops" extra items that where not in the budget you loose money quickly.

I have no student loans or personal debt and very minimal monthly costs (gas, food, etc.).

It’s easy to rip up and put down, which makes maintenance fairly easy and cost-effective.As for other items like cabinets and bathtubs, you can potentially access lower prices if you buy from wholesale stores, though you’ll need to buy in bulk to make that happen.

The place was built in 1981 and I've reached out to the agent about getting numbers on some of those expenses as well as age of some of those CapEx items, but there is already a 10% management fee in place, and I would definitely lean towards the higher side of insurance rates and capex costs. 

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

(BPO's have line items for this)How were comps selected?

One major item that you're missing. 

(I will ask that, out of respect for our current tenants’ security and privacy, to wait until your viewing appointment before walking the property.)If everything above is agreeable to you, let me know your availability over the next few days and I'd be happy to take you through the apartment.Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you at the viewing.Note how I reiterate the qualifying criteria as well as itemizing what the move-in costs will be.

Ask for a line-item breakdown covering demolition, kitchen upgrades, bathroom remodels, flooring, paint (inside and out), roof/windows, HVAC, and any curb appeal improvements.

You don't even expect that from a person who takes your order and carries food, you think they deserve compensation but someone putting together how to make you millions is supposed to do it for FREE.....
