Hello all,I hope I threw this in the correct forum or atleast semi correct.

Finally the str question.

I suspect repairs will take 12 months and I will need 2 years to get the tenants to leave. not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze but the ability to project year over year costs, improvement work and the final refi must be out there in someone's excel folder. or am I over complicating things? 

. - Finally, I called my own inspections and eventually got the final Green tag!

(5) and finally, do you all have recommendations for loan agents / officers who can help us think through what would be the optimal path for us given our situation?

For example, I traditionally have achieved infinite return via semi active BRRRR. 

I think you have a good hand of cards on this if all you state is accurate.One final note, if you have photo or video evidence of the condition of the unit upon starting, that too is one more feather in your cap.

We've got a tenant who we got evicted finally after being almost $4,000 behind. 

Also – side note, I have been a bigger pockets fan for 3 years now and it has motivated my wife and I to FINALLY purchase our first investment property last year.

Other people on these forums would slit their wrists if the unit failed to provide enough free cash flow and they could care less about principal reduction and appreciation.The 5%/45%/50% figures I heard from Matt Faircloth here:  And Brandon Turner described expenses being about 50% for a rental property in this video, though he included vacancy as part of the 50%:And I agree that you can't lean on these percentages in making your final purchase evaluation; you have to have the final numbers quantified.
