I also get a 10% discount at HD/Lowes.My RE Agent supplied me with 11 COMPS but out of the 11 I only found 2 to be +/- 500sf, 10 years of construction and 1 br/baOf the two relative COMPS the sold price mean was $294,900 (I know that I need to pull more COMPS but it's a start) I'd be happy with $250,000 ARVMy question is does this property have good sweat equity potential?

Of course, the biggest variables, vacancy and maintenance, cannot really be predicted with any accuracy until one has owned the property for a few years, or has a similar property nearby to gauge by.  

A way to save money with embroidery is to supply your printer with a DST file. 

Theres so many variables that go into your cash out pricing.I can give you one scenario only with fixed "variables,"Assumptions:SFR (not 2-4)740 fico cash out to 75%you have 1-4 financed properties max2 years tax returnsyou are impounding your taxes and insuranceyour loan amount is higher than 150kand much more....... 

Supply and demand drive rental prices much more than the stock market.

@Brianna SchmidtMy plan is to attend although I will not have any true networking supplies with me (Although I do use Vista Print, a lot, I have to design a new card for REI and put that order in next week).

The one variable I'm not certain of is the comps I have run, which I need to trust but verify.Pictures from home appear in good condition with possibly just paint & carpet, estimating 15kStarting with the end in mind, I would have a couple strategies, or exit strategies if I were to target rehab buyers, and/or buy & hold at the same time. 

A respectable (non- sales pitch) type of advice may come from local roofing supply companies and roofing contractors WITH decades of experience in the business who can confirmed they've used said paint.

In my experience construction contracts do several things in summary: list the players (client, contractor, design professional), outline the scope of the work and the costs (whether they be fixed or variable), how the project will be carried out, and what to do if things go wrong.  

Understanding the balance between the supply and demand requires looking at the net absorption rate to see whether or not demand is outpacing the supply coming online.
