The third one, when winter comes around, I will have to use the emergency heat setting to get the heater to work AT ALL which costs an arm and a leg (I pay utilities on those three units).

I have utilized Yellow Letter, Postcards, Flyers, Cold Calling, Door Knocking and everything else in between .

You really can't mess it up.Granite is also custom fit, so it becomes a fixture.

I don't think you factored that into your cash flow above (or any other utilities you may pay).

They pay me utilizing their Banks bill pay option or transfer option.

Hi Michael,You are getting the numbers turned around.If landlord does not pay utilities such as water etc. then you use 50% costs but if utility is paid go 60% costs.NOI is before debt service and NOT after.

If you hold the property for 3-6 months, that's roughly 3-6% (or 1% holding cost - that comprises of house payment + utility payments + taxes and insurance)If you add up all the numbers, you have...13-20% COSTS or you will end up 80-87% of the sales price.

Quickbooks is the best especially if you utilize the class system.

That would be adjusted up for landlord paid utilities.

you might go down and see the plat in person, to look for easements (utility or someone else's driveway), and who or what is/will be on the adjoining parcels.
