One of the aspects of purchasing that is most anxiety-inducing for investors is in doing a CMA and figuring out the After Repair Value of the property.

This was actually cheaper than what we estimated it would cost to repair the existing unit.

Vegas Property $135k3B/2.5Ba Inspection came back solid, no major repairs needed, fairly new everything... current renters have been there over a year now and they pay $985HOA - $178Property Manager - $90Current Lease is up April 2019About 20% of our own money is invested Question: after all is said and done we pay about $20 out of pocket every month...

@Joel Pash Joel, I need to know more details to help you with "Estimated repair cost".

I am in need of a contractor in Carlisle, Arkansas, or someone who will travel from Little Rock to do some HVAC and Plumbing repairs for me. 

Damages are in the 30k range and repairs takes 2 months on average.    

At the same time I guess those HOA fees could just be put into a future repair fund for single family homes.

You have to make sure the person or company over the association is not siphoning money and is also being a good steward of the funds balancing the budget and tracking repair items.Special assessments could kill your cash flow model.

It will be reported as rental income.You will also be entitled to take ordinary and necessary deductions used to upkeep the rental business which includes items like repairs, utilities, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, depreciation etc.

I have a security deposit to cover this but wanted to check to see if anyone knows an efficient and fair contractor to hire for a crank window repair services.
