You can also learn through the process.

This is analytical data analysis and application.A numbers game would imply that you 100% guaranteed will eventually get a contract signed.

Everything has been done in the process, this was the last step, I don’t want to miss out on this home, and I see a big opportunity to negotiate.

Quote from @Christene Martin: I hope your attorney gives you sound advice.My process?

Hi Lauri, have a look at this site: https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/

And how long was the process to get the house section 8 approved (all the paperwork, inspection, until a section 8 moves in)?

From the 20 or so credit unions in Baton Rouge it looks like most of them advertise 75K limits but I’ll draft up a presentation to just present data.

These numbers should be determined using a combination of the historical financial data available, feedback from your property management company, your business plan, and the property characteristics.Generally, you can expect per unit numbers like this:Repairs & Maintenance: $200 – $500 per unitAdministrative: $150 – $350 per unitUnit Turnover: $200 – $300 per unitContract Services: $200 – $500 per unitUtilities: $800 – $1,200 per unitAdvertising $100 – $300 per unitPayroll $1,000 – $1,600 per unit (very market specific)Insurance: (very market specific)RE Taxes: (very county specific)Again, these are very general per unit numbers but they should help provide you with guidance. 

I’m also in the process of looking for a good property manager, and we got to meet two or three different property managers while we were there, however I want to look for others.

and by extending the process, some of them may have found other accommodations.
