What i didn't piece together at the time and is obvious now.... there was a tree in the front yard.

Question: If FHA is 3.5% down, upfront MIP is 1.75% for a total of 5.25%, why would anyone ever take this over a conventional 5%?

Very little, we own 45 total houses that we rent, 2 4-plexes, a 3, 5, and 6 mobile home park, and the rest single family. 

Obviously, individual preferences, goals and risk tolerances play a key role. 

My partner and I are looking at one in Houston with the expenses and deductions totaling ~45% of the gross potential rent of the property:That includes 10% for vacancy allowance15% for planned and unplanned maintenance (lawn, CAM, repair allowance)7% for property management12% for Taxes and InsurancePosted deals often excluded expenses, so I want to ask the BP community for wisdom.Questions: To the experienced eye out there, how does those expense %’s look?

I have a small balance on my original home loan, so that brings me to the cap of 10 total loans allowed by Fannie/Freddie.  

Obviously, they are now trespassing on the property we own and contract is dead, but the reality is the guy is still in our property.Does anyone have experience with what comes next?

- TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES: $522K, NOI: $445K, Debt Service: $240K, CASH FLOW: $200/door/month.So...this is based on potential rents which means I will have a year or two of transition and potential CAPEX expenses.  

Fast forward a couple months now the work has slowed down dramatically .the main problem now is this last $33,000 draw he hasn’t hardly came at all in the last several weeks virtually non existent other than a couple guys for an hour or two and it’s really starting to get where I’m worried .the Bank approved it each time when there clearly wasn’t enough that could’ve been done on the contract i got one draw left ( I won’t sign yet obviously) I only have about 10 grand left of draw and so now I’m kind of worried because the project can’t be finished on the ten grand that’s left .

Obviously, the biggest single cash flow item is the sale of the property after "x' years, so it's a very important assumption.
