I have a summer business that runs for about 6 months and gives me all sorts of time in the fall/winter.

I'm assuming (and I hate assuming), once I make it pretty lol it'll appraise for a bit higher.The one I'm describing above is almost a mirror image, duplex just needs more rehab work. 

If you do a screenshot of your spreadsheet, you can post it as an image.

Sort of like a duplex or triplex in a sense.

I am actually documenting my past 3 months journey in the world of real estate including all sorts of tips an tricks. 

You will more than likely be requested to come in with a down payment of some sort.....depending on how you are buying, it could be anywhere from 10%-30%.I highly recommend to speak with as many banks and mortgage brokers as possible.

If you use Airdna you have to calculate manually and subtract in general though, you can think of your cleaning fees, debt service, capex contingencies, and other operating expenses (supplies, utilities, etc) as a sort of “hurdle” that you need to overcome with revenue before you start making a profit.

Build them into your numbers and try to improve your own DIY skills if you enjoy that sort of thing but otherwise you'll want to develop a list of reliable contractors that you trust.

Hi @Jason Rubenstein,I've been wanting to learn more about this sort of set up.

For me personally, I think reading those sorts of books got me fired up and more willing to take on risk and go after those big dreams.
