Assuming your rent assumptions are accurate, assuming there is no major differed maintenance issues, and assuming there is nothing out of the ordinary that would impact your NOI (such that your expenses were much more than 50%), this deal sounds great from a purely financial perspective.Obviously, there are other considerations (location, management, etc), but again, just looking at the numbers, it looks good on paper.

To determine what you can get a property to appraise for (when selling).While the square footage method (and adjusting the comps based on their differential square footage) might be reasonable for determining what a property will appraise for, the fact that there are a different number of bedrooms could have a much more significant impact on the resale price.To determine ARV for the purposes of estimating resale value, you really need to find a couple more houses that are similar in terms of number of bedrooms (and obviously make sure things like condition, style and age are still comparable).

When that happens, I'm thrilled that there are good home inspectors out there who will call them on it and ensure that the buyers are protected and know what they're getting into.But, like others on this thread, I've had my share of inspectors who will find things that don't exist (I can think of a couple reasons why this might happen), who will make mistakes (everyone makes mistakes, but they can be expensive when an inspector does it), or who will go out of their way to try to justify their fee.I'm a big believer in just fixing everything that comes up on a home inspection (I want my buyers to feel comfortable that they're getting a great house and that I'm providing a great product), but when inspectors screw up -- accidentally or on purpose -- it can significantly impact my profits.All that said, there are some great inspectors out there who would never purposefully misrepresent a finding, and those are the ones who are probably good enough to find real issues, even in a house that has undergone a great rehab.
