Or it could be a rehabber.If you want to estimate the repairs before seeing the house, you can calculate it per square foot based on whether the rehab is light, medium or gut.

That makes it much easier to calculate.

How did you calculate $300-350 in cash flow on a property that rents for $750?

Calculating ROI from rehab is much easier than building a full pro-forma (which should include your taxes, as those are regular and repeating expenses).

I have used both calculators to see if deals make sense.  

I bet you know more people upset at earning 0.1% right now than you think.Partnering with someone that has cash but no interest or knowledge in real estate might also be an option.If you can purchase a portfolio of properties at once (yes, it happens) it will likely find be easier to find a lender willing to fund these long term, than if you buy one SFR at a time.

Jim KaufmanHave you calculated how much you need to invest in order to get the increase in rental revenue?

I found one that I really like, partly because it seems to be relatively low-maintenance for my first property, but my calculations put my ROI only at around 20%.

I bet you can find a new tenant that would be happy with your rental.
