Just because your facility is smaller doesn’t mean it’s worth ‘less’ on a unit basis.

When a bank calculates your DTI, they're doing it on a monthly basis. 

pretty simple concept I think  maybe I am wrong.Equity =  Value - Debt   Basis =  debt and cash into the deal..I think that's about right.obviously debt service is a direct function of loan amount and interest rate and amortization schedule. 

However since this rally has been predicated in multiple rate cuts and a China trade deal and all the markets got was a 25 basis point insurance cut stocks will correct to fair value.

There are services that will sell you the information usually on a monthly basis.

Do the cheaper $10k-$20k homes provide better returns than the $40K-$50K homes on a relative basis?

@David BalogunGenerally all improvement costs get capitalized into the basis of the property. 

Michael indicated that it would be acceptable for the expenses to be deducted on Schedule E, although I think technically they should be added to the cost basis or as a cost of sale. 

@Erik PerottiMy projection is that the ibuyers will end up concentrating on houses needing little or moderate rehab, and pass on the more extensive renovations.The goal of the ibuyers is to disrupt the brokerage industry, not the fix n flip industry, although that could end up being a byproduct.Various platforms, disrupters, etc have tried to make real estate agency as obsolete as travel agents, so far with almost no success.The differences between consumer industries which have been successfully transferred to a platform basis, and residential real estate are profound.

Your basis in your current property is a combination of your basis in the previous property carried over into this property, and the additional cost of this property.
