How many leads you visited etc..A lot of people say their budget wont allow more marketing.

I'm guessing a budget of $10,000 should be more than enough for updating and any other little things that are bound to come up.

I've always paid for a weekly pool service to make sure it stayed in decent shape so that's something else to budget for.

It sounds like your rehab budget would be low as all of the $12k would likely go for full electrical rewire, plumbing and new hvac.I too like the westend and spent many years in that area....and still hold some properties over there.

If you do a good job, meaning buy cheap, stay on budget and sell quickly for the expected cash.

While the HOA will cover some maintenance, you still need to budget for it (about 5-10%) , as well as a Capitol repair fund (%10) , and vacancies (%10), so think your expenses are low by $3500-7000 a year.

We generally budget $100/mo per unit for repairs and are typically covered with that.

They are either idiots who don't know which end of a hammer to use or jerks who only care about their budget and their schedule, or both.

I know there's got to be a budget solution that is effective.

You budget $100 or so a month for it so you have $5-6K available every 5 years or so
