foundation issues could double your estimated rehab budget.

Terrace what is your budget for your list?

I have an offer in on a townhome within and HOA and I just received their budget.

Most of them have a high deductible and/or lots of loop holes to jump through to get service.Find a good handyman in your area instead and budget accordingly. 

I would recommend putting together a personal financial statement and creating a budget in order to get a better idea of your financial picture. 

The budget of $2k is not sufficient.  

Is staging a home important to factor in the budget?

I was under the impression that Hudson county sets tax rates once annually after municipality budget review.

I just have no experience in this part of the analysis because I've never closed a deal using a loan, I've always paid cash.The properties seem to be in well kept condition with nothing major being needed, however I budgeted 10k (2500 per prop) for whatever may arise.
