The first one is trying to negotiate 1 month free rent while the 2nd one wants to sign already with no demands.The second one came in for viewing and the only thing is was curious about was the Electrical Board(Calculating the amps to make sure it was not 60 Amps and that it is 100Amps).

Don't pay for this on the front end with the purchase and on the back end when you actually do the repairs.Obviously with negative NOI it is tough to calculate how much you should be paying (since technically it's $0).

Are any other Plus Members having trouble with the rental calculators? 

The very first steps I would recommend though as a new investor is to get a handle on analyzing the income, expenses and ROI of these properties in Bridgeport.You can use the Bigger Pockets calculators to start.

Many of you are basically asking this question, and knowing how to make these 3 calculations helps take the passion out of the decision.

@Tiffany Watkins, easier to input those numbers into a calculator, there should be a deal analyzer right here in BP tools or you can PM me for a deal analyzer, also, add only that which truly adds value in the marketplace it is in, for example, if it lacks a garage in a neighborhood where a garage is expected, definitely the garage would add value.

Basically, it's the body mass index of real estate investing: easy to calculate, but not providing much real insight.That said, the best explanation I've seen so far is here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

There is ratio equation that calculates the bill for tenants based off of occupancy and square footage.

It's a reference and a data point, but it is a pixel and not a picture.Condition is also a major factor; we get typically 200 to 300 more than calculated, because the condition is nicer than average and people are willing to pay for that.PM's are often a bit on the low conservative side, understandably, they don't want to overpromise, also it makes it a bit harder to find a great tenant.Size is another major factor; tenants are very much shopping for square footage.
