As I near my close of service date, I have been preparing as much as I can through books, the bigger pockets website, webinars and real estate podcasts to take on my real estate ambitions the minute I land in the States. 

So the numbers (so far) are:Purchase price: 62kARV: 105,000Buying costs: 961.00Rehab: 7-15kUnsure of what the holding costs will be until its rented but I'm estimating 4 months.Utilities: 650Taxes: 300Insurance: 500Interest: 2400So I'll be in it for about 70% ARV.Projected rent: 12000Costs: prop mgt: 1080Maint: 600Capex: 360Utilities: 0 (tenant pays)Vacancy: 1200Tax: 800 (this will go up in october but maybe only 300)Insurance:  still getting numbers but no more than 1200NOI: 6760Debt service will be accounted for after rehab and when I find a good refi option, but I figure I'll pay about 5.5pct and have lending costs (unsure of what those will be) associated with it.  

I have set up a new lease agreement, arranged payment via Cozy and lined up local contacts for a handyperson, HVAC, plumbing, elec etc. but I am curious as to how to find services to go out and do quarterly/ biannual interior inspections and/or key turn over.

I just setup with InCorp,  $67/year when purchased for 5 years.I can not comment on the service yet, give me a few months then I can comment

Hi BP community, got the contract back from the seller, which is a RE service company.

The letter basically said she was a great tenant, if he (the landlord) didn't need to move back into the house himself she wouldn't even be leaving (the landlord was a military member who was getting out of the service), and if given the opportunity he would rent to her again without hesitation.  

Newbie pending landlord.Which sites/services would you recommend/have experience with for background checks and credit checks?

Costs to do business is always factored in to price of goods and services.

and what mailer service do you use?
