Hi Maria!

Is the cleaning fee a monthly expense you want to write into your analysis, or is it a one time fee?

If it is a monthly expense, I would use the other category as a variable expense. 
If it is a one time fee, I would add it to the repair costs.

I hope this helps, and if I am not understanding correctly, please let me know!

Thank you, Tom. I have just reported the issue and will let you know when we have an update!

Hey Tom!

Can you send a screenshot of the issue your are experiencing? I am sorry, I am not sure I quite understand what is being displayed incorrectly in your post above!

Hey Soumya! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts! Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings. You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

4) Review Dave Meyer’s The State of Real Estate Investing Report 2024 (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!) for real estate investors available to all BiggerPockets members!

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!

Hi @Sean Hudgins

The Military Investing forum, along with numerous other topics have been consolidated recently due to lower activity. But, do not worry! The discussions and connections have not been archived, and have been moved to the General Real Estate Investing forum.
