As the subject states, i am hoping to find someone willing to share the Excel model they’ve constructed to do the quick & dirty math on estimating tax benefits of your real estate investments on your investment and W2 income streams.

Sale Price 845K Last May ( I managed to snag the house for list price when everyone else in my condo complex payed almost a million)current estimated value: 950K (conservative) Mortgage: 3900Rental price: 2000/room (furnished) = 6000.  

There are a hundred plumbers out that to call for estimates.

Is there an estimator that you know of so I dont have to waste time calling an insurance broker?

We owe 321K and the market value is estimated between 600-700 (we did not need an appraisal for refinance).

One lender is telling me they can give me a 3.5% rate if I go with them and the other is telling me that he doesn't want to lock me in a rate because there is a chance the rate will go down (however, estimating a 3.75% rate)My question is, can a bank offer whatever number they like and lock in the rate or does it really depend on the market.

Purchase price (estimate): $370,000Rehab: $80,000 (ultimately two of the eight units have been recently remodeled, but the remaining six units will need cosmetic updates.

And they shoot low on the rent estimates, so things may be better than what they seem there.

The best one I completed was located in Concord (sub city of Charlotte) in October of 21 Purchase price 94,000Reno 47,442Appraised Value 205,000 (we originally estimated a 175k ARV)On this one, we carefully picked our finishes which needed up making it the nicest one on the block.

I've heard various estimates for closing costs, ranging from 2.5-5% of the property value to the $1500-$2500 that the BP calculator suggests.
