I didn't know much about real-estate back then, but I did know that owning was a smarter choice than renting and throwing money away.

Do you have any project management templates in excel or any other tool which could help?

Rents are NOT your choice. 

you can plug in the numbers to the bp calculator - i use the bp calculator and my excel models to be sureAssumptions as an exampleassume $650/mo rent for each unitassume 8.333% vacancy rate (1 month)assume 40% operating expenses (kinda high but cap ex can be pretty stout)assume a 5% cap rate Cap rates are important to know with these type properties. 

You could give the tenants 2 or 3 color options that match the existing color scheme and let them make the final choice so they feel like they have a voice in the process. 

Excel.

If you can, and want to, do more, by all means go for it...life is really short....Excellent points balanced with moderation.

Obviously, interest rates in general have declines A LOT more than the decline in my target yield.In 1981 I had my choice of notes.

The comprehensive home inspection will take place next week, but preliminary accounts say that the home is in excellent condition and will need no repairs. 

So an example, say I have an excellent plan, have met with professionals picked brains, learned about my local markets, and the properties, would it be difficult for me to seek financing from investors, having no experience?
