I changed my brand of coffee. 

I believe anything that is for the whole house gets deducted according to square footage of each unit. 

It is worth getting a quote from them.

Quote from @Allison Park: I have a brand new 3 bd 2.5 ba Townhouse. 

What brings me back quite frankly is I have been a renter for six years now, and getting tired of it.

I am brand new and still soaking in all the information and education I can get my hands on.

Mic, good on you for wanting to get your first real flip done with a system instead of winging it.

Here's the deal, new home builders have lots of inventory, sure they want to sell to owner occupants that are going to live there and get regular owner occupant mortgages like conventional, FHA and VA. 

A few key things you’ll want to focus on are:RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) – the core metric for valuing operations.Occupancy trends and ADR (Average Daily Rate) – these drive your revenue projections.Expense ratio and management structure – smaller motels can run at 40–50% expenses, while flagged hotels can be much leaner with scale.CapEx and reposition potential – if it’s a rehab, understanding brand standards and conversion costs (for example, turning an independent motel into a soft-branded flag) can make or break the deal.My partner and I have underwritten several hotel/motel projects in the Los Angeles area, so I’m happy to share some insight into how we typically structure the analysis and what lenders look for in this space.

My conversation would go like this I would ask him if this is a temporary or permanent move in (this kind of is a way of finding out if he anticipates getting better without asking which you can't really ask about disabilities).
