Numbers are very conservative based on worst case scenarios.

I would rather design for the worst case scenario even if the return is little less, as far as return is in the area I expect (or more :)).  

'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst'

Crazy huh...balances out the #1 worst place for weather hahah.

So sometimes they can get frustrating, and at worst they cost you a fortune because they suck.

That being said, your investor is super safe because your worst case is selling as a turn key rental for still more than you have in it.

.- #20 is being renovated- #21 is being started- #12 has some small maintenance issues since tenant moved in (new stuff)- # 11 (above) is vacant- were just told #2 tenant is moving out, purchasing a house- #4 told us she is looking to buy her own, just has not found anything yet.all that is happening at the worst time of year!!

Worst case, I'll request clients review on multiple platforms but know that each extra step decreases the chance of them following through and having a good experience.Thanks!

Costs caculated (annually):2100 Taxes (1,3%)2000 prop Mgmt (10% of income)1700 insurance (1,1%)1200 repairs (5% of income)My market is Southwest Florida, by the way.With these numbers I felt comfortable, I wouldn't have purchased it if I wasn't sure to achieve at least $900 rent.Now that the repairs are done and lease under contract for a total of even 2300, I was ready for the worst and enjoy the surprise now.Of course, besides the pure numbers many other things may affect your thoughts, so take it as one perspective.Good luck!

Factor in worst case scenario and hopefully the math still works out in your favor.
