The available options for warranties break down into things like:exterior main water line coverageexterior main sewer line coverageinterior plumbing line coverageHVAC (cooling system) coverageHVAC (heating system) coveragehot water heater coverageelectrical system coverageWe broke down two viable options:Option 1: Evaluate Risk/reward likelihood on each property as to whether we get individual coverage, total yearly cost of this is ~$2100/yr which comes to approximately ~2% of our gross rentsOption 2: Go with full coverage on every property we own, total yearly cost of this is ~$5100/yr, which comes to approximately 4.5% of our gross rents.We usually work off a 15% goal/assumption (of gross rents) that allows for costs tied to vacancy/maintenance/capEx items, which so far (been operating for 3-4 years) we have been significantly under that.

@Casey Charkowick I think you need to do some more research to narrow down your expected rents a bit more - the range $2400 to $3000 is pretty wide, and makes a big difference.By my estimation, it's about a 2% cash on cash return if the rents are $2400/mo, and about 5.5% if they're $3000/mo, with debt service coverage ratios of about 1.18 (bad) and 1.48 (very good), respectively.If the realistic expected rent is $2400 I would not do this deal.
