-I might have misunderstood something, but I calculated $46,200 gross potential based on rental rates of $425 (1 BR) and $500 (2 BR).

If you go sole-proprietor route I would suggest you obtain a Fictitious Business Name (or DBA - doing business as) so you can start building brand for your services.Being sole-proprietor will enable you to qualify for a Solo 401k and then invest your retirement funds.

I have one that is Orbit brand and it is pretty foolproof.

The only difference is that one has a brand new furnace and the other has a furnace that is 15 years old but works just fine.Generally when doing deal analysis it seems people will account for estimated rehab to make a unit rentable, and they will estimate an amount for monthly or yearly maintenance and capital expenditures either as a percentage of rent or some estimated dollar amount.

The cost of the engineered wood will depend on the brand, species and specific installer.

I want to build a reputable brand merging all levels of the profession from Home Improvements and Design to Sales, Property Management.

Or you can buy a brand new home 2 minutes from downtown in a transitional neighborhood (but that uses my whole lump sum) or buy a beautiful home in the country 15 minutes from the city with $250,000.. 

I worked in financial services so we know our financing options, but as first time home buyers, everything else is brand new to us! 

During that time they had $15K in price drops and eventually sold another $12.5K under the reduced list price.They also said it had a brand new kitchen with new cabinets, granite and new SS appliances.
