Looking for help predicting expenses (like maint/cap, insurance, cleaning, management, etc.) and revenue (I've computed my own rental season curve, but I'd love someone to validate that for me).What I'm looking at is an MLS duplex that *I think* would rent for a total of $4300/wk at peak, at a least price of $519K.Thanks,Chaz

Fronting vendor bills for 1000+ managed units can get expensive and PM's are not banks.

I have since found a better deal, a little more expensive but less risk. :)

But if you do it relly nice ("nice" does not equal "expensive") and you work out a plan like every month the house is in good condition you give them back 20 dollars.

In California the property tax is based upon the purchase price, so lowering the PP will permanently decrease you annual expenses (thus will increase your cash flow permanently).

If you have newer properties built since 2004 your insurance may not be a lot more expensive.

I would like maximize occupancy by cross-marketing to both Denver vacationers and those in town for medical needs.I am not discriminating in anyway, but it will be quite an expense to create a "wheel chair friendly" rental and more wear and tear on floors, door ways ect. 

A little background:I'm currently deployed over seas, I'm actively looking for a way to make the most out of the capital that I'm accruing while I'm out here.. especially since i don't have any living expenses at all (perks of being single and deployed!).

Welcome  I met the dingo on the real estate investing forum in AU.. when he was famous for buying the least expensive home in AU.he has put in his apprenticeship and its exciting to see him doing so well.. this is a great country..

If you think real estate wholesaling is overwhelming or out of your comfort zone then that’s a reason to do it even more!
