They say technology has gotten better but I’m a little reserved on it.

As for the rest, there are major differences between Net Operating Income and Net Annual Income (or annual Cash Flow – which I consider the real measure of an investment performance, how much money puts in my pocket on a regular basis) and Cash on Cash Return on Investment.Net Operating Income is calculated before debt.Net Operating Income = Gross_Annual_Rent – (Vacancy + Operating_Expenses)Where Operating Expenses = Taxes + Insurance + Monthly HOA x 12 + Monthly Management Fee x 12 + Repairs and Incidentals (Warranty, Utilities if any paid by owner and/or during vacancy, CapEx reserves, etc., don’t forget the CPA and Lawyer costs) Again Net Operating Income is calculated before debt - what matters more is the NET Annual Income (or annual cash flow): NET Annual Income = Net_Operating_Income - Mortgage_PaymentsAnd that leads to the Cash on Cash Return on Investment: C/C ROI = Annual Cash Flow / (Down Payment + Closing Costs)And I’m willing to bet you don’t get C/C ROI above 10% on any SFR in Austin area (based on these calculations and bought with conventional means, not subject-to or assumptions, or owner financing or other creative financing).

In July I completed a lot of updates to the house (new well, new 200 amp electrical service and panel, new windows, replaced forced air ductwork, added a bathroom.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

You need to have some money in reserve, basically with only 25K after the down payment it's going to be dicey until you rebuild the reserves.  75% of 133 - 88k owed, you may be able to get a HELOC for 12K, maybe a little more. 

Do you provide similar services as they do?

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a handyman that can service the Miami FL area?

You need to approach the service provider directly.
