Hi @Jonathan Vargas,Those numbers and percentages look decent.

Are their percentage growth numbers on income and expenses very different (5% vs 2%), and just understanding why that is.

If they value the appreciation amount more than the rental income, they may want higher equity percentage, which would give you a higher percentage of cash flow.

So far the guests have been mostly guests from out of town (most visiting family) with a low percentage coming specifically for the Mall of America. 

I believe for people first getting into Multi-Family they should give up some percentage of the GP to the KP and sponsor to gain the knowledge.

Anyone have recommendations for a simple calculation/percentage on how much money to have on reserve per unit for basic maintenance and repairs? 

What amount of intial capital or percentage of purchase price should have readily for a 189k quadplex (class c property in class b area)?

If yes, by what percentage on average?

Rental properties in this town are overpriced and not much to choose from while home prices are underpriced and plenty of homes on the market.So now I am back to looking at owning, even if for the short term, although transaction costs could push this into an expensive proposition.What percentage factor do you use as a average for transactions costs on both ends of buying and selling a home.Also, if you have any other advice in this situation, my mind is open.

I think it is true that you should have X amount of dollars saved up in case you do get a bad tenant and have to do some repairs - maybe take out more percentage from your cash flow each month for repairs?
