So far, the actual numbers have stayed on par with the predictions.  

For a back of the envelope, you can use sq. ft. for purchase and renovation...for example $100 sq. ft for purchase and $25 sq. ft. for renovation....this is just an example, actual valuation is a science.General rule if you use a popular site is stay with closed comps sold within 6 month and not more than 1 mile from the subject (again just a starting point...we would use more than just closed comps to predict price).You may have to pay for it, but a Broker Price Opinion may be a decent way to go....As far as acquisition and exit, things get complicated...too much detail to type here...glad to discuss further, though.

No generalized timeline, no way to predict.  

You have to predict how the asset will perform for you and not what it did in the past.

And if the company is active you could complain to the BBB.I don't like reglazing because you never can predict what a tenant will do and they always peel eventually.

I would predict that worst case scenario half of that would go to expenses.

@Huy LyI predict a REALLY low price once you run the numbers.HOA fee AND Community fee?  

Nobody can predict what the market will be like in 3-4 years.I see another member here stating there are some good areas within commuting distance. 

The book recommends buying at least 20% below market value for buy and hold properties to virtually eliminate your risks.I recommend buying buy/hold property that are in good shape, where you can rehab them, where you will have a really good predictable estimate of your long term capital costs.Get a mortgage with 25% down.  

If the tell me I am on borrowed time, theni have the money set aside ready to go for that big purxhase and igetnit scheduled for the next year or so during temperate weather, hoping it does not go out during a heat wave.Once the big things are handled, or at least budgeted for,you can have lower, more predictable capex budgets.
