Hey Benjamin,I can help you in getting a customised static website at your budget.

When the listing says: "Handyman special with TLC needed" you need to ensure you have a renovation budget, which I do not see in your calculator.

He gave a great bid, we discussed the rehab, rehab budget, and we both came up with a reasonable date for the work to be completed.

However, you should plan on it and figure it into your budget in the event that you either decide to hire it out or go to sell it soon and the next buyer wants to hire it out.  

This will require plans and a budget for an appraiser to complete. 

With a rehab budget under 35K, you could look into a streamline renovation loan product.  

Rather than using a percentage I would again recommend you talk to a property manager or local investors and ask them what they budget for annual per unit expenses.  

This is probably not what you want to hear but if you have not been able to afford even the minimum on your student loan payments you are not in a financial situation to buy real estate.It may be more useful to either increase your income, create a monthly budget that allows u to pay all of your bills and increase your savings, and/or sell any cars with loan payments and buy a beater car.

Finally, I found a property that was in my budget and located in a good neighborhood.
