Hi, how do you estimate maintenance and cap ex for a new condo conversion vs. an older building in a high cost of living area (mo rent/purchase ratio of 0.4%-0.5%)?

As the tax season is coming up, I'm starting to think if it's worthwhile to hire a tax planner (mostly going forward, as 2021 is nearly over) and tax preparer (same person?). 

Great ideaI would suggest getting in with an older more experienced agent and offering to help them for free with whatever they need Just because you get your license doesn’t mean you can’t use an agent to help you when you are first starting out  that is what I did I would also suggest you watch Ben Malla on YouTube.  

My thought is to look for older (2+ years) homes nearby that have sold recently as better comps, but I don't know if they'll consider it.Thanks!

Are you selling or holding your older rental properties?

Typical seasoning requirements of six months would apply.

I have an older condo rental in Dana Point where the tenant has been renewing on a yearly lease year after year.   

Goal 2 Rehab - OKGoal 3: Refinance  -  Refinance with 80% LTV as soon as rehab/renting it out is done              Problem: Seasoning.
