If you’re serious about buying properties and doing real estate, then I would suggest working with the CPA that understands real estate even if the services cost more than your average H&R Block or some TurboTax program you can buy.

And then you argue with me saying that I don't know all the details (as in, well, these days even a man can get pregnant.)

So, landlords of exempt units don't even have to be concerned at all.   

Beyond the bedrock issue, soil conditions can be costly if the property has problematic soils such as too much silt, deep topsoil, or extensive wetlands.You'll also want to know what ordinances are going to affect your budget - things like tap fees, tree ordinances, storm water retention policies, etc.Bottom line is that you have to investigate ordinances, off-site conditions, and on-site conditions before you can even begin to budget your development.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

Insurance typically covers only the directly damaged area, not undamaged flooring, even if it's continuous.

I agree 250 MAP clients is a lot, even in a city the size of Pittsburg.

Even with some people I believe are honest, I simply believe most do not properly analyze and manage risk, as is evident with nearly every syndication doing capital calls right now because they didnt properly plan for rising rates.Dave Van Horn however, along with his company PPR one of the few people I trust in the real estate space.

Nor would I pay retail for a property with that low proforma return even though I like PR.  

I've even had tenats bring their own range, but usually that's included in the lease as are dishwashers.
