Zillow has already stated that its target is to net just $3-$5k per deal, and by volume, create an additional $1B in revenue.

Just my 2 cents and your goals and threshold may be different so let’s see what other people have to say. 

Reonomy is also cheaper than CoStar, but keep in mind they limit the number of properties you can pull per month. 

If you want to put in a ton of manual legwork to market for free you can, but it is often not worth the time, you could easily do the math and make minimum wage or less on a per hour basis.

I woke up one day and decided to look at my finances and realized I needed to make 7k per month just to break even.

The rent is 950 a month per unit.

My DTI is around 46 percent.

We had a situation with roommates (both on the lease) and the assaulter per the judge could not enter the property without police to remove their stuff or they were in violation.  

If you’re buying it for 100k and can pull 2k per month in rent you meet a 2% rule. 

Can someone remind me how much of a cost per square foot is labor?
