In Q2, due to occupancy levels, annual insurance premiums, annual property taxes, there was no cash flow above operating expenses and 8% is accumulating and will (hopefully) pay out in Q3 next month.

Besides the up front cost of the offered purchase price, title insurance, the tax bill, and annual property taxes, what other potentials costs should I be aware of (also mention any negatives to be aware of).Thanks in advance.

You have to do an analysis of what the cash flow is taking into account - mortgage loan and rate, insurance, taxes (High in some parts of Texas) Vacancy, repairs, cost of processing applications, showing, writing up leases or paying property management to do it.   

You will still have to hustle to acquire tenants, get them to pay rents consistently, then out of those profits, you still have to deduct vacancy factors, maintenance, management, taxes, insurance all of these items will affect that 10% hypothetical return.    

@Kai Van LeuvenIt’s sounds like you’ve gotten all the low hanging fruit, another couple things that come to mind Is reducing boring expenses that people typically dont shop or spend alot of time addressing;-taxes ( I don’t know how tuned in the city is to your remodel but you want to spend a little effort ensuring you don’t get hit with a property tax increase )- I’m not sure the type of tenants your looking to attract but a playground might go a long ways to adding value-Insurance ( anything you cad do to reduce your insurance?

You have no expense for insurance, repairs, vacancy, or HOA this is a townhome so I am going to assume it has HOA. 

He is one of the buy for cash guys . trying to wholesale . and he suppose to insure the title .

Yes our taxes are rather high, but I feel like our ‘stable’ real estate market makes up for that. 

@Anastasia Kristina I found a few markets in Ontario and Quebec that have great cash flow, good and constant increases in property value while being stable markets (low vacancy, high rent to purchase ratios, above average population growth).I like Outaouais, Laurentides, Lanaudieres, Estrie and certain pockets of Montreal in Quebec.

Sure, you can spend days drawing lines that connect boxes on some Donald Trump level real estate empire org chart in an effort to gain anonymity and avoid liability, but, at the end of the day, what protects business owners is adequate insurance and acting intelligently."
