Hi @Jessica Franco,I am quickly approaching the purchase of my first rental apartment in Johannesburg - once I've signed the OTP, I will update you on my progress here and let you know what I've found and give you a brief deal breakdown that will hopefully assist you in one way or another :) If I get caught up in it all and forget, feel free to drop me a reminder or follow up in my inbox (or here).Cheers!

Feel free to send me a message, I would be happy to pass along their information. 

And the answer is always the same :-) There is no way to accurately do this...too many variables and moving parts, plus it varies too much from one locale to another.You need to find a really good General Contractor and pay him to walk the property with you....over and over....until you feel really comfortable estimating yourself, and that should take years.Alternatively there are online calculators (even one here in the tools section) but I would not rely on them for the reasons listed above.

Happy to discuss, feel free to reach out. 

Additionally, most condo's that allow STR in the HOA do not require this or it's already installed, however, any free standing property, duplex's and other properties require a fire suppression system.

I have done flips in MD, feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.

They do have an upREIT feature where you exchange your NNN into the portfolio tax-free, they are a bit selective.

If you need any help running numbers or just talking through a potential deal, feel free to reach out!

Seems like he cannot differentiate btwn regular wear and tear and intentional damage/ Paint requirements: Interior walls, ceilings and other exposed surfaces in rental units must be kept smooth, clean, free of flaking, loose or peeling paint, plaster or paper and maintained in a sanitary condition.

Hi Tedman,For free softwares, Excel, Trello and Notion would works.
