So, I would be very conservative (for your standpoint) on the researched estimate.I would do what I suggested above, then if the tenant takes you to small claims court you explain to the judge the legislative time restrictions you were under in order to come up with an accurate repair expense.This is yet another example of how "tenant protection" laws, in practice, end up hurting the tenant in the end.

These firms with large online presences use fear mongering techniques to sell services without ever fully explaining how their entity structures actually benefit the client.

The house is offered to the buyer at the ARV price, and we explain how we plan to rehab the property and its worth after repairs (ARV).The end buyer has to make a commitment of at least 10% of the ARV, provide proof of funds, and other documents required to list the property on our website.

I called the City of Savannah Police Department and explained who I was.

I figured that people would see the dimmers and at least give me the benefit of the doubt, and they did.Then I got comment No. 2 on the same problem, brought in my electrician, and he saw and explained that the lights had been incorrectly wired when I bought the place.

It looks like he wrote another similar book called Land Trusts for Privacy & Profit which explains how to use land trusts in all 50 states. 

That last part is subjective and there's no perfect answer but if you're truly under market by 500 to 1000/month maybe try $250/yr so that you're back on track in two years.It's easy enough to explain the need to increase as well: everything on the planet is more expensive right now.

Pretty early on I had a mentor explain to me this: You can buy a $300,000 house, do $50,000 worth of work, sell it, and walk away with a $50,000 profit in about a year's time.Or you can follow the exact same formula but buy a $1,000,000 house, do $500,000 worth of work, sell it, and walk away with a $500,000 profit in about a year's time.The latter of course generally takes a little bit more time (and of course more capital) but it was a very eye opening realization for me.
