on a property for repairs and maintenance, if done by myself, how much should I expect on average monthly?

I have family there, some of who work for PMs in the area who could handle light rehabs and general maintenance.

HOA id $19 pr month and taxes are $1800 annually.

Drive the neighborhoods and look for those beat up houses with deferred maintenance.

If you can claim the interest and depreciate the property, you may have enough to have a small surplus to dampen vacancy and maintenance.

Some institutions even have their own maintenance guy.

What are the annual property taxes, who pays the utilities (water is usually handled by the HOA, but not always), and does the HOA have adequate reserves to cover major repairs like roof replacements and street resurfacing?

However, when taking the most recent month's performance and annualizing it, the NOI then becomes positive by several hundred thousand dollars.

Even you acknowledge you have a large backlog of deferred maintenance.

I can rent for less than I can buy and someone else is taking care of my maintenance and repairs.
