Basing maintenance/cap ex as a percentage of rent is not smart even though many rent calculators use percentage.

However, based on my revenue projections and factoring in a 25% commission for professional property management, it seems unlikely to generate significant cash flow unless they can significantly boost revenue.I'm open to working with a professional PM if they can guarantee decent cash flow.

I'm assuming I'll get a lower cap on that and my only way to add value is by increasing rents annually based on the provincial max amount allowed to increase rents?

It feels like one requires the other...refi requires good credit...good credit requires the refi...Does someone have some insights as to how to do a home equity line of credit based on an appraisal and with a low credit score?
