This is kind of judgmental.They should add back taxes, insurance, depr, and interest to taxable income, and then subtract off your current PITI to arrive at Net Cash Flow: if positive goes to the denominator as income, if negative goes to the numerator as debt.Are you sure that they are handling interest expense as you describe?

Most travelers arrive tired, thirsty and at least a little hungry.A booklet with information on the area - food, sites, hospital location.If you don't enjoy adding that special touch, hire a decorator that stages homes for a couple hours to give you some ideas.

How did they arrive at their asking price?

Personally, I would not begin work upon the lease term is terminated and not renew the lease terms for the units that need the most amount of work.Go at a pace that your cashflow is comfortable with and factor an additional 20% as operating cost because of unanticipated turnover and rehab cost.As units are turned over and renovated to your liking and reflect the class of apartment you would like to maintain, raised your rents with each new tenant that moves in.I do not believe in putting tenants in temporary housing unless an unhabitable situation has arrived. 

Which is I want to know how they arrive at their figures when they determine a propertie's market value and ARV.

At 70 years young I've worked most of my life to eliminate all debt and have finally arrived and plan to stay that way. 

Until today when we arrived to class to hand in our “strategy guide”(the form with our credit, goals and assets).

But now the shiny, new complexes have arrived and shaken things up.

@Carlito King Post the property in question and the comps you used to arrive at an ARV.

I finally ended with, Sorry, I don't rent sight unseen, but there are several apartment complexes that rent short-term, like we had to do when we moved to this area, and then you'd have time to view properties after your arrival.
