But, I simply am not interested in this stage of the process with so many folks inquiring about the property to do personal interviews.  

I am at the early stages of my investing career and was hoping to gain some insight here from my fellow like minded peers.

Aloha,If you are calculating a split between tenants, or as I have on some properties, between tenant and Owner, where the owner actually WANTS to provide a base electrical usage in the base rent, billing tenants for only excess usage, you need to take note of what additional items the tenant adds later.

This in turn is costing the tenants (or you) excessive amounts for the heating bill, no doubt.

@Melissa Block I may have missed it in your analysis, but many people who haven’t had a lot of experience fail to account for holding costs, staging, and other expenses that can easily add $10-$20,000 to your overall expense structure

I assume you knew that the one or two dogs she told you about was/were pit bulls, so the issue must be with the 8 dogs (no matter the breed), which I agree can be excessive if you don't have the right living arrangements for them.

I purchased a home that was gutted and now I am in a the beginning stages on getting my prices for insulation and heating.
