Let's assume an 800-900 sqft condo.Property management - maybe 8-10%Expenses - Very tough for me to estimate, would love to see some sample models from peopleVacancy - would probably just assume ~ 8% or 1 month of rentCapex - Since HOA would probably cover roof/exterior type deals, capex here would likely be just bigger items like HVAC, water heater, Q1:  Per above, I assume capex is generally lower when HOA fees cover some of those items?

If you drop me a message I can send you the slides.

we are in the Southern California área and thinking in putting either artificial turf or natural sod grass( the one is already grown) in the frontyard , it’s arpund 312 sf and estimates are like 440 dlls natural sod grass and 3400 dlls artificial turf with 0% financing options ( about 258 dlls monthly payments for a year)... some advise based on your experience(how about children’s, pets , maintenance, water bills, heat etc) and info you would know also... thanks blessings!!

In the last month or so, as I drove by the property at night and during the week end, I noticed that some people who work there have been leaving their cars in the parking lot, at the same spot for days.At my instructions, Property Management dropped a letter to all tenants reminding them that only business vehicles are allowed to stay overnight.

@Gabriel Rascon How about a slow water leak from a cracked washer valve due to over tightening during the tenants installation right when you're half way through your work shift?

We’ve had trees fall on cars, furnace failures, and toilets run up hundreds of dollars in water bills.
