Hey all,We're super interested in getting into apartments, but I'm struggling on a few things when it comes to the analysis. 1.

Here is my thought on this. if the property is priced mid range, here in seattle is between $500k to $700k, buyer will be struggle to come up additional fund to purchase appliances after closing. the thing with appliances is it's must have not nice to have items so without it, it might be a potential deal breaker.

I've always struggled getting accurate numbers.

I live at Lake Tahoe, and we are really struggling with the laws surrounding short term rentals.

I have been struggling during the analysis portion to find a house that will cash flow.

Adam, They are out there, it all starts with your purchase price and what you can get the properties for. sometimes you may not start out getting a 10% return, you may have to look for ways to " value add" sometimes, raise rents and lower costs, then the property may produce the return you look for. any return that can beat the return you can get anywhere else for any other investing product, is worth the investment. if you have only been able to produce a 5% return on stocks and this property produces 7% return, you are ahead of the game. do not struggle with what other people claim they make, because they may not truly know there numbers and are actually making far less, what will work for you may not work for others.

You're going to struggle to find any property under $250k that is rent-ready.

Great strategy for the long flip, a lot of people struggle to think long-term and see the light at the end of tunnel past 6-12 months.

The struggle was ultimately around business philosophy….we are more conservative and wanted to take things slowly and also make sure we had plenty of funds in reserve.

I guess it means I should find another insurance agent that value my business more.I am struggling to read and understand this policy (image attached). fair rental value coverage Fire =40, All Perils=38. and similar line items in improvements columns $10,000 and $50,000 on loss assessment property coverage.Protection line says local fire alarm or smoke detector, deadbolt , fire extinguisher.
