Those with limited resources are usually lacking in the ability to pay for repairs, so you have deferred maintenance, not just with the home but perhaps with everything, like cars, so you may also get junkers in the driveway.

2) How much should I put in the cash flow analysis for repairs/maintenance?

Overall the building is in great shape, with the only major maintenance issue that I can see is that the roof looks at least half way through its life.It's listed for $49,500 but has been on the market over a year likely due to comps.

I'd guess you could be between 6.65 and 7.75 in 2015 as a note rate, your loan may have an annual ceiling like 2% hikes, so check there.

Looking at the average rents in the areas, it is above the monthly maintenance fee and mortgage payment.

Available add on services, monthly maintenance inspections, monthly market reportsRepair limits without notification, what is your limit?

I want to focus on working for property managers and landlords so I am trying to find out what the most common repairs or maintenance issues that you guys face is.I went to a trade school for 2 years and I have been working in building maintenance for about 7 years now so I have a very broad skill set.

Those are great numbers.Due Diligence is next including deferred maintenance if any.

For co signers, I require social security number, employer and annual income.

The noise and potential aggressive behavior is not good for neighbors, maintenance crew, or me.
