I'm a corporate finance analyst by trade so I immediately went looking for modeling tools and found some great work here at the FilePlace - all for free!  

I'm looking for input/suggestions on the model I use to come up with an offer priceSample:List price $135,000Monthly rent               $1,350Desired cashflow:     -$200 (Concept derived from the book Profit First)Vacancy @8%:         -$108Maint. @10%:           -$135Capex @10%:          -$135Prop Mgt@10%:      -$135Insurance:                -$37Taxes:                      -$190--------------------------------------------------------Total for P&I:            $ 410Use website http://1728.org/calcloan.htm and solve for AmountInputs:Years: 30Rate: 4.25%Payment: $410----------------------------------------Offer Amount: $83,343.52 (subtract any rehab/closing costs from this number if necessary)The one item this model doesn't take into account is the neighborhood.

Between the 2 or 3 months since the seller initially contacted us and us actually closing, there had been some good activity in the neighborhood and we deiced to finish our rehab near the level of a bigger model that had sold down the street for 930K.

I would be willing to help out if you have a charity project that could use any of my expertise.
