Understand what retails properties sell, average prices per sq/ft, types of properties investors are looking for, what rents are, what areas sell the best for investors, what to look for to get accurate rehab estimates, more properties you visit and see in-person the better, and most importantly, dont be lazy! 

It’s good to run conservative estimates, especially since vacation rentals can be seasonal in some places.If freeing up time is one of your main goals, think about using a property management company.

Good Day,I need to estimate how much the insurance will be before I purchase the property. 

Regular preventative maintenance, typically during turnovers between tenants I take note, anything that will likely be a need to repair in the next 12mo I try to fix during my turnovers before a new tenant, but I also take note of anything that may be needed in the next 24mo and the next 5years and I estimate the cost and budget it into my reserves Best of luck with your self management journey!

Hello BP community:I am under contract on some land that I am considering building multifamily on.It appears I can build approximately 80 units on the land (based on permitted density), which could be more or less units depending on the exact style of units we would construct (one or two story, etc).

I also look at comparable properties (comps) to estimate the property's value after repairs.I currently don’t have a real estate agent.

I am estimating my home is now worth at minimum 615k but think it could be anywhere from 650-700kMy current mortgage payment is 3324 (that with PMI).

If you're going to keep it a rental, you want to "maintain to the neighborhood", NOT your personal preferences (or that of your siblings).What's the estimated cost of any required repairs?

Hey @Shayan Sameer, how did you estimate your rehab costs?

Make sure you’re running conservative estimates on your rehab and refinance numbers, especially with fluctuating interest rates.Partnering with an investor-friendly agent who knows your target market well can help you locate solid opportunities and avoid potential pitfalls.
