From my point of view for event guest screening and security deposits, Superhog is reliable and integrates well for STRs and events, but you might need to adjust its setup for your use case.

Pretty much last forever and average out to $75 a piece. 

The renovations were already factored into the LTV during the initial loan approval, and the increased value of the property due to those renovations may not automatically allow for an earlier PMI removal under Fannie Mae's standard policy.Workaround/Next Steps:Reappraisal: You might be able to request a reappraisal if the lender is open to it.

I am not seeing how that is possible when you factor that 6% tax in; and yet Greenville is a popular place to invest…am I missing something???

So most investors just throw in the same expense factors no matter the age of the property.

These two factors will get investor rates down to a reasonable level.

If price point for these properties is a limiting factor, properties found on the North side of Veteran's Memorial Pkwy can be viable too, as long as they are on the East side of Santa Barbara Blvd, and South of Pine Island Rd (SR-78)

You will have income (rent), but then you'll have expenses: taxes, insurance, repairs, turnaround cleanup, eviction/attorney costs, vacancy factor etc.

Hey Elizabeth - I'd factor in about $10k to get a padsplit up and running when it comes to furnishing which would include washer / dryer, additional fridge, bedding/desks, common area furnishings if you want to offer a little better experience.I'm only familiar with ATL - I think accounting for 1 move in / 1 move out per month is a good conservative assumption here.$8kish / year or so on routine and reactive maintenance combined which should include your cleanings, lawn care, maintenance calls ect. 12% per month of gross rents should be a good estimate if you want to look at it like that!
