Adjust based on starting capital and yearly capital allocation.If that number comes out way more aggressive than you expected, then you need to look at maximum leverage, possible value adds, etc.

I have done a lot of research, and I am well aware this path won't be easy, and it will take a lot of adjusting, especially with a kiddo on the way, but I'm determined to earn more for my daughter.

in theory, yes, although those types of expenses tend to lag in adjustment.

It's common in our area, especially HUD.Put another HUD property under contract this week and just budget for fixing some leaks.I don't think it is worth messing with the seller, next time just include it and adjust your offer.BTW, the bigger expense could be when the sewer lateral gets clogged.

@Joshua TremblayYes,  called a public adjuster, and ending up with more than I thought, even after paying his fee.

Adjust the temperature knob on the water heater.

You could also turn it into a halfway house for reforming real estate investors, they need intense 24/7 rehab treatment, so they could live there during recovery! 

The thought would be that we could then possible qualify for a loan to satisfy those of us that need the cash or a portion of their inheritance and adjust the trust or LLc accordingly.Any Thoughts would be appreciated.

Are there things in my coverage that I should adjust [up/down/remove] based on your experiences?

You might want to adjust the title to ask about building a small shopping center, imo...Kudos,Mary
