Im based in the UK - hope that is OK.I am primarily looking for info on deal calculation and also what I need to have inplace / ways / strategies to raise investment capital. 

@Marcus Auerbach, there are plenty of lenders who use a DSCR 1 ratio and base the rents on actual rents or the rents on the appraiser market rent survey.

They are just far to speculative and all over the place with values for me to want to base a contract/option off of it.  

This is a long term game. 

I had previously read something like 48% of people travel with their pets, and I do believe it based on the amount of pet fees we collect. 

I just add that amount to the base rent in the lease. 

Many reputable general contractors have experience with city/township inspections and final inspections before you can sell your home; they can provide value based on experience with trades inspectors and providing more accurate estimates for project costs based on current market value of work per trade. 

Obligo charges a monthly fee based on the dollar amount and Tenant's credit score.
