Tony from the BP Rookie podcast has said before that he uses 20+ bank accounts to handle his and his wife's personal monthly budgeting.

For whatever reason it seems to attract people’s attention when looking at listing. oIf the budget allows, paint the exterior a dark gray/black.

It is likely we come in under budget, but I prefer to estimate high. 4) $500 will be the monthly profit after all expenses: mortgage (PITI+PMI), HELOC interest payment (not principle pay down), maintenance, vacancy at 15%, and utilities.  

You have to evaluate what made you go over your budget and either adjust the scope of work, do some of the work yourself if you're able and then like others have said, get alternative funding like credit cards. 

Will it wreck you financially, less likely than trying to use a hard money loan to buy a place with no cash and a $50,000 rehab budget in a C class neighborhood. 

I hit a wall for cleaning services, how can i calculate the monthly service fee when budgeting because in my area it depends on the size and i dont have any property yet to use as a reference.

Hi @Brittany L Gramm, what is your budget currently?

It is not.As you mentioned jurisdictions also are charging huge fees to fit their bloated budgets because it’s cronyism at its best

If you are willing to be honest and transparent and competent with the budget, you should not have any issues.Truly your best bet is to find a deal and post the specific numbers and what you are looking for...or take the deal to a local REI meeting and pitch it.

Average is between $5k and 7k, but probably safe to budget $10k going in just incase.
