Aside from the fact that you can't do this unless you have some legal and proper arrangement with the seller, or if you actually purchase it, the small items you talked about are so minor it adds little to n value to the rehabber.

You may get more exposure posting in the proper place for it, the Deal Analysis ForumOrganize the presentation of the numbers for the property a bit and I'm sure people will jump in with evaluation/advice.

I like that you're taking the time to learn what you need to learn and to make sure you have the proper reserves before moving forward.

I was just using my own property as an example of how one would calculate the proper Cap Rate.

Many buyers/homeowners like the fact that there is someone looking to protect their home values and that there is someone willing to fight to ensure that their community is properly maintained.

It's a personal preference.The main thing to protecting your assets is running everything properly and exactly by the law.

Plus you can easily enforce if properly executed.

That is proper.

If not, then get somebody there that knows how to properly winterize the property (with an air compressor, not an air tank) and RV antifreeze in all traps and toilets after getting the water out of them.

I know of none unless you are in the private lending space with a good track record and the proper contacts....so private money would probably fall in that category.
