Do your due diligence but do not get stuck in analysis paralysis.Lastly, these online calculator are a good guesstimate but it is skewed with bad managers not effectively reaching the potential of a property So dig a little deeper into the high performers in the area to figure out what the rate should be and what they offer.

Couldn't have said it better myself mateThe pure fact that the poster is going out of their way to post about us is proof that we made the right decision.We "dodged a bullet" per se.I "touch" every investor inquiry because we keep our operation boutique and exclusive.7+ years later and 3,000+ investor calls, plus a thorough pre-screening process enables us to quickly make a decision if we are going to be a good fit.I have a detailed log in the CRM of basic questions asked that I won't reveal because I don't like dirty laundry being exposed.Plus my undies are Extra Large so I don't want anyone getting a complex heheheWe can sell houses to everyone until the cows come home but that's not the way we view our operation...It's not just about us but also making sure that we can deliver on the investors expectations.Do we sometimes make mistakes and turn down a potentially good fit?

This could involve budgeting strategies, saving goals, and even potential investments for the future.

If the market is great and has future growth potential expect to pay a premium.

My attorney charged a significantly lower settlement fee but if I didn't use Lennar Title, then I'd forfeit my incentives... a practice I despise among builder's lenders, but this is how they trap you into using their AfBAs. 

I agree with @Erin Spradlin - I think if you can confirm/convince potential tenants that there is plenty of on street parking it is not an issue, but if it is in a busy neighborhood where finding parking could be difficult I think adding the parking area would help a lot.

Although practically, I have heard that you don't need it until you evict a tenant.

Potentially, but highly unlikely.

You should also consider whether the property has the potential for value appreciation or renovations that could boost your rental earnings.
