As a rule I generally assume expenses to be 50% of the gross income for my first look evaluation no matter what expenses the seller reports (unless its more than 50%, then I will use their number.)From there you can get into more detail on what type of capital expenditure budget the property might need depending on what physical condition and what strategy might be best.As far as due diligence once the property is under contract, or maybe before in some situations you will need a much more exhaustive list.
