And when I see 17% vacancy rates in a certain neighborhood, it's a red flag for me.Do you take vacancy rates into consideration?

Security and vandalism will be something that will be on my mind more than other neighborhoods, of course.ARV on nearby SFHs is in the 40k-75k range depending on condition (lots of poor condition homes because people don't have the funds to maintain them),.After accounting for taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities, I think that the place would cash flow about $1000 a month - or $300 per door.For someone who is still a "newbie" investor, what are the red flags I should consider?

I like to search for a max. of $xx.xx per square foot.

It might be better to show the "featured lenders" with the large yellow dots and show the other lenders with small red dots for example.

I recently reviewed my insurance policies and found that the insurance company listed the square footage higher than the city records.

Welcome to BP Rea.Saying it's all legal is a red flag to me.

$5K for AC replacement is exorbitant unless this has some huge square footage; shop around for better pricing.

And the other half of the one big bedroom will have to keep a window; some people will also say that it can't be used as a pass-through - that makes the bedroom not a bedroom any longer, but a hallway.Sounds like you have enough square footage within the building to do this, but the layout and allocation of space still might not make this feasible to do.

It seems repairs can be estimated on the age of the home, and the square footage.However my question is - How do I decide which materials (based on price, aesthetics) to buy when stores like Home Depot, Lowes have a lot to choose from.Does the contractor pick out a good deal of it, or is it all the investors discretion?

Have you red my mopst?
