Contractors will help you understand the cost of any needed repairs. 

We are currently cash flowing roughly $400 including budgeting for repairs/capex.  

Account Closed, When we typically do our rent-to-owns (lease options), we still take care of repairs (in the sense of capital expenditures).

I am thinking once they are in or hoping once they are in and all repairs are done then the headache will be over. 

The experience taught me the value of building a team and reserving cash for repairs, and the whole experience eased my fears.

I've been analyzing several deals, but I keep getting stuck in what percentages to put for the Vacancy, Repairs & Maintenance, Cap Exp., and Future Assumptions.

In need of one to do a walk through on a property for repair estimates and possibly long term business relationship if all goes well.

If I were you, I would learn all sorts of things about personal finance and real estate investing, sure, but I would spend a lot of quality time (and money) on furthering my education and having a social life that includes going out on a lot of dates.Here's my reasoning: if you look at all the millionaire households in the USA, as of 2009 95% of them are headed up by a married couple or widow/widower.

Interest on the repairs 8%. 

We're wondering if we should budget for an entire new foundation or if this is repairable in any way?
