And I always recommend you buy the best product you can... low end rentals while viable for someone who does it for a living in my mind are just far to risky for a first time investment. good luck  shop and compare .. if your going to knowingly into markets that have little to no appreciation and you know that up front then its uber ciritcal that your PM and who sources the deal checks out Ace's

If its in a decent area and there are shops and entertainment nearby, having a few bicycles that people could rent out by the hour or daily could encourage people to drive less and make a happier community.

But if you're shopping for a primary residence in Denver or are a house-hacking type, there are still opportunities.

The house is a 3/2 with about 1700 square feet of living space.Our rehab budget is about $50,000, including $12,000 for two bathroom remodels, $5,000 for a kitchen remodel, $9,000 for a new roof, $10,000 for HVAC and plumbing, with the remainder for carpeting, flooring, painting, and appliances.  

These milestones and payments are annotated by color indicating whether the work has been completed and the payment has been made, the work is currently in progress and the payment is pending or the work hasn't been completed.I also use pivot tables to change the views of that data to provide various summaries by trade, contractor project and date, as well as to provide a cash-flow analysis for the remainder of the project.Unless it's possible to create pivot tables in QB, I'm fairly certain there is no single report I can create that gets me anywhere close to what I do in Excel.
