It's highly unlikely, if not impossible, to find a traditional lending source to fund the purchase of tax deed property. 

I let pricelabs do most of the pricing to get me to high occupancy for April.  

I ended up bidding on the property, but when the bid went too high, I stopped.

I’m highly motivated and I need a capital partner.

We’re currently priced at $850 plus $133/mo for RUBS, which include electric, water, and Wi-Fi.

Any other books you highly recommend? 

SO, at least the BP calculator has little suggestion bubbles to give you a hint if you truly have no idea, otherwise, at least start ball-parking the water bill, for example, based on your current water bill at your residence.

Since you already have an STR license for the property, it may be worth it to at least try and test the waters with an STR bookings and see how it goes.

@Marcos A MirandaIf you're net is $150-$200 per month and you have a property that is over 500k and you bought in a high appreciation area your will likely gain more in appreciation than cash flow in the next 2-5 years.
