My question is, describe how you made money on your first deal using a BP member, techniques, strategies, tools, etc.

I always figure 12% property management - I have a great property manager at 8% - but new leases are always 1/2 first months rent - that is pretty standard in most PMs - so i've averaged it out at 12% to be safe if i have tenants turning over once a year. always be conservative!

My estiamted repair cost is 200K, maybe between 150 to 200, but just to be safe.

But an aging population that can no longer safely drive, but that is unwilling to give up that freedom will put pressure on legislators to remove roadblocks and indemnify manufactures, similarly as existing products.  

Biggest advantage of finding a contractor through GAF is security in knowing they are a safe and trustworthy company that does good work.

As for your technique, I've thought about going higher too.

@Bill NevesThe latest edition of Deals on Wheels has a chapter on Dodd Frank and the Safe Act. 

I can find equivalently sized SFH's close to this property, but 90% of them are 4/2 1800 SQFT they have.I'm not looking to fudge the numbers or inflate anything, so is it safe to use the SFH data for part of my calculation?

I would be happy to find a small, relatively safe multi-family that will generate 7-8% cash-on-cash.

Its my intention to keep her at home with me as long as I can keep her healthy, happy, safe and comfortable.
