So once you know it's vacant, to get an idea of the return on your investment, you'll need a few pieces of data first including: the Fair Market Value, the estimated ARV (after repaired value) of the property, a rough estimate of how much repairs will cost, and you need to know market rent in case you can't sell the property right away.

The property before the rehab was very likely a foreclosure, or run down.I was thinking today that the tax figure I used in my projections, which is around $750 per year (around 63 a month) (an estimate I pulled from zillow as an estimate, and what I actually ended up paying for the 2015 year when I closed) is based on the old value of the property before it was rehabbed.

Make sure you add enough of a cushion into the repair estimate so that you will be covered if something unplanned occurs and you can give the end buyer a financial incentive to purchase from you.

If not, get a few more estimates. $1900 doesn't sound too bad, but there are a lot of variables.

But I am going to get them over there to give me an estimate and get them started on that mess as quickly after closing as possible.I've also worked with a concrete company before and I think I have a decent idea on what they'll charge me to fix the crawlspace concrete.
