The landlord and USPS are telling me two different things, and I'm just in the middle. 

If I was a landlord I would ask for two months deposit plus first months rent upfront to show your commitment, then rent to start 4 months from lease signature.  3% escalations a year and an option to renew for another 10 years assuming all rents were paid on time.  4 months puts the pressure on you to work full time to get the place where you need it to be. 

When I have clients contemplating the two, I look at holding plan (you already did this, so great there) and the difference in payment.

I also met two other agents along the way: Mark DiMaria & Barry Brooksby.

In this case, since you subdivided the land into two parcels, you would allocate half of the total cost to each parcel.

Live in it for a year or two, move out, rent the remaining room you lived in, and buy a new place to repeat the process.

This is a smart bunch so any sources or even logical approaches as to how one might find these numbers via research would be greatly appreciated :)I've done two separate top-down analysis based on census data, IRS data, and surveys, but those differ quite bit. 

By draw schedule I mean you complete the first 1/3 of the rehab, then they reimburse you for that completion, and repeat for the next two faces of the rehab.

Took about two to three months to rehab, and about 3 months to sell.
