It is surprising how much information is available and how accurate these projections are - right down to which roads and highways will be upgraded when, estimated population increases, future zoning of commercial and residential property, and much more.Happy researching!

I am very conscious of my credit score which is very good to excellent.All scenarios I envision is losing this home, AND my credit score will drop.My goal is to keep my credit intact.

There is no ONE WAY that is right for everyone.Since 2009, they have implemented a more expensive upgrade that they sell to you at the bus tour, so it never really ends.

You lose your grandfathering when handling a large rehab on a vacant building which means more code upgrades and eyes on the property.

The wife put 40k worth of upgrades and is reluctant in selling and cutting ties with the improvements she has put into the home.

I now have a unit that is producing income with no one in it and I'm able to go in and clean, make repairs, upgrades etc.

If it is a turnover after a long term tenancy, we will "dry dock" the unit to do the inevitable maintenance, repairs and upgrades.

if thats the case $3000 Vacancy 8% - $2400 Assuming mortgage - $350 --$4200 so total anual gross income $30,000 so total expenses annually $22,890 leave me $7110 and then we need to use the 50% rule right for future upgrades and repairs $3555 repairs and the other $3555 annual cash flow so basically 300 bucks a month First time doing this hopefully I got it if anything looks off please let me know

That appraisal doesnt take into account any of the upgrades I've made(replaced laminate floors with engineered hard wood, laminate kitchen countertops with granite, paint, among smaller less mentionable things).
