I’m an investor in Atlanta Georgia  and I’m used to getting rehab quotes from GC’s that are between $35/sqft (not too much walls need to be moved or roof or anything) to $65/sqft (everything needs to be done) to $85-$100/sqft (new construction or additions).I read about and have ran into other investors who say they can do a full rehab project for about $15/sqft !!!!

Our current investment horizon is about 1 year our so it seems like a savings account is our best bet to keep the cash liquid.

Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.

Additional units in rentals and removing walls in flips.

Those additional expenses have an effect.Now, if you're going to manage the property yourself, the PM can be ignored if you want, altho I'd prefer to include it anyway.

Then MEH, there could be a hundred reasons from the verbiage never transferred across some internet site, to the listing agent forgetting to add it, to the guy having not done anything with his license in years and just remembered he has been paying the $50 every two years to renew it with the state, but hasn't belonged to the board in years.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

it Hasn't been my experience that there are additional certs sold each year, at least in the two counties I have purchased in.

Consider him to be your next/only tenant when screening.It is a major newbie mistake to only consider the qualifications of a existing tenant when taking in a additional person.

I suggest you get an average for the past year, increase the rent by that amount + 10%, and just add it to the rent so you don't have to think about it.Once exception: I put a cap on how much is "included" with the rent.
