White subway tile + white paint + white cabinets + black finishes = a great formula to keep cost low while achieving a modern look that will appeal to buyers.Happy to connect and hope this helps!

There is no formula for what you want.

My question is, is there really a "magic formula" that only the Pros know, or can I optimize my website myself?

Thank you for your time.Your formula is podcasts + books + meetups for the next year, and it will come into focus.

Pay the bill yourself, then reimburse yourself by charging the tenants based on a formula.

By the time that's done, you'll know enough to start investing in distant lands.Education is important, but you will never have all the answers, perfect formulas, or whatever it is you think you need. 30 years ago, people made money in real estate without any ROI calculations, hard money lenders, BP forums, podcasts, coaching courses, etc.

With a little patience and determination, and sticking to the correct formulas, I got to where I am today. 

You just put in the info and Blue Hammer will give you an estimate of repairs on that property based on repair costs specific to your area.Now that you have your repair costs figured out, now you can plug that into your formula and see what the numbers look like.

;(FI there is no "formula" that works on every house, every location, every time.   ;(   There's alot of experience needed to make the decissions. 

I've been trying to use this formula but lost some excellent deals.
