So, I have decided to put a post up and share a permanent link for the spreadsheet.Here's a quick rundown of what it does.Calculates mortgage payment.Calculates down payment (assumed 25%, but can be adjusted)Calculates taxes, insurance, property management fees, misc. fees, etc.It also will take into account maintenance, estimated revenue increases, advertising, utilities, total cash outlays, etc.etc.At the bottom of the spreadsheet in red is your total net profit or loss.  

@Alex Harris Your tagline at the bottom is interesting.

abatement of the material must be must be completed prior to renovation or demolition"at the bottom is saysmaterial - transite, siding, gray, non fibrous, and again it says that same thing.arv is 130k

Then in Parcel number order the tax liens were sold in a Round Robbin fashion.

When I went back to pay the cleaners (we do extra sanitizing after each tenant), the cleaners pointed out that the blinds had been replaced, and were half the size of the original blinds, and didn't reach the bottom of the window.Another example....

The only reason I did not buy in either 2014 or 2017 was because I was working on cash out refi's to get ready for my next round of purchases.The key is to understand that a market like the BA is a buy and hold location. 

And 3 hours of that was the fiddly stuff round doors.

And they're SO common, but the bottom line is that, without a variance, you will most likely run into substantial trouble with your lender, your insurance, the city and your future tenants at some point or another.

The end result is the same for the new person who doesn't know to ask about fees, points, pre pay penalties and other terms details.The bottom line for all BPers is:  don't assume the org you are dealing with will send the right docs to the closing attorney.  

The bottom line is that the information you need to be successful is right here on BiggerPockets for free.
