Hi,A house in an A neighborhood recently went on the market in my area that has two separate units with separate utilities.

Insurance, utilities, management fees, the cost to turn, how long it takes to turn, the cost to advertise, which ads work, foot traffic, closing ratios, trailing 12 months of operation, and then you need to know and have relationships with the top 3 controlling brokers in the market to find the best apartment stock within.Look, I am not trying to scare you here, but there are so many courses out there suggesting real estate is easy when, in truth, there is a lot to know.

You need to include vacancy, utilities, repairs, CAPEX and management allocations.

Your realtor and their realtor and their property manager should have a list of each unit bed/ bath, rent, utilities, property mgmt charges, who's behind on rent, etc.

So we're utilizing wholesaling to ultimately purchase buy/hold properties for long term.

Also, utilize the MassSave program for any quick renovation upgrades (0% interest for 7 year loan on energy efficient household items).

Also the section 8 published number is a utilities included rent.

Hey BP Community: I am looking to begin my real estate investing journey through house hacking utilizing an FHA 203(k) loan.

@Quinn Zerfas Utility bill backs are touch because there are federal laws but also state specific laws.
