What percentage would you say, you were able to foreclose on those properties? 

Taxable value itself is the percentage of a property's assessed value less any exemptions such as depreciation of the property.

I’m looking for advice on seeing if my percentages of pay out after the buy out is good.

It's worth noting that rents only dropped a few percentage points over that same period.Jon 

Is there like a percentage recommended to have available for maintenance and CapEx going into your first rental property?  

I have a carpenter friend who will provide some labor and oversee all of the construction, for a percentage of the net profits. 

With percentage rates as low as they are now it's a fantastic time to lock in a solid rate.

I can't comment on the percentage, but I don't exceed one months rent for this cost.

Even if your getting a 12% return vs. a 15% return, the mentorship May be worth 3 percentage points. 

It's close enough to the max FMR that I have no issues with this.Average Rent = $1,385/unit.10% Vacancy = $277/mo.10% Property Management = $250/moTaxes = $120/mo.Insurance = $200/mo (rough estimate).Water = $150/mo (paid by LL)Garbage/Lawn = $100/mo (rough estimate)P+I = ~$885/mo (estimated 5% interest rate over 30 years, full asking price with 25% down).I realize that some of the expense percentages are a little on the high side.
