In a rent to own you can charge premium resell price (i.e.190k) , you get a deposit that lowers your cash advance , you collect the majority of the rent (no vacancy/turnover and typically no maintenance costs) ... if you have bought at 105+20 rehab+ 20 financing and closing costs costs and unplanned you total 145... if you sell even at 180 to a rent to own and get a year of monthly payments that give you approx another 10 net, you spent 145 and made 190I hope this makes sense to you... in order for my rentals to work I need to charge 1k rent for 50k house (or 2k for 100k house)...

This isn't the same (IMO) as if this assessment was for some kind of "new" or "unplanned" expense.

I will negotiate a contract and take you through closing for 6 percent unless there are comprehensive and unplanned negotiations regarding; major repairs which are unknown at this time, hidden title/easement complications, water and sewer repairs or negotiations etc. in the case of extensive negotiations and or repairs, the commission will escalate to 8 percent.

To answer your question, my journey into being "The" REI Realtor was such a winding, un-planned path.

It was unplanned but she had managed the few properties we had in Ca for decades, and she is doing a bang up job. 

It’s always a good idea to add a little “I.C.E” funds to your repair cost Incase anything goes unplanned.

One unplanned trip to a property can wipe out a lot of profits once you factor in plane, hotel, car rental, etc.

You need to decide how much you need to fund today (planned capital expenses) or accept that you are willing to risk your future income (unplanned capital expenses). 

Usually when building capital, it is a combination of steady savings and some other unplanned/unexpected financial windfall that we use for investing rather than a new big screen or whatever the average person does with it.

Because of the change in plans along with some unplanned rehab costs, I likely won't have the funds to rehab both houses up front (although I can find additional funds if needed).I read about Fannie Mae's "Delayed Financing Exception" which looks like it may be an option for this property.
