I'm worried that I may be running myself out of a good deal if I make these percentages too high but also concerned about being too low and having a major issue arise. 

Home run deals only and everybody has their own interpretation of a home run deal.

Installed it should run you around $4.

Hooked up with a realty as an assistant strictly for MLS access to find deals/run comps? 

So running some numbers and getting soe averages over time is your best bet.Good Luck!

Hello everyone,I recently got in touch with a mortgage broker so he could run my numbers and tell me what I could afford to purchase.

If a buyer didn't like them they would be easy to cap and machines could be run in the basement (the norm).

Comps in the area run between $145K to $170K, with an average of $98/square foot.

After  having it up and running she called back to complain that it wasn't working again, on the second call he noticed what appeared to be a hole from a screw driver punched in the outside unit through the coil.This is my first eviction here, was in NJ previously and used to their laws. 

Of course you’ll want to run the numbers and make sure it works/cash flows BRRRR method seems to work more smoothly when one pays cash for the purchase and rehab.
