Hey all,I'm currently rehabbing a split level house that has a 16' x 8' deck in the front of the house.The deck is built about 4 feet from the ground and leads to the front door.I had my landscaper remove a ton of ove...

I spent the last year doing major utilities and security improvements with my own funding, and now am in need of about $120,000 to have a reputable contractor complete this fix and flip.

Is it considered standard to include all closing costs, capital outlays (for repairs, improvements, etc), and loan origination fees in addition to the sales price when calculating cap rates?

I also know that no potential buyer will accept $140/130/120,000 if they know I purchased the property for $95,000 and made no additional improvements/ repairs etc.

But we have shown the great improvements and submitted everything for appeal showing all the updates and changes. 

Our intent is instead of having the buyer put down a huge or customary down payment we start low so they have funds to improve the property since many need repair.The rent ($500/month) is roughly 65% of local market rents.

The last piece of advice I have is to always be improving yourself.

The appraisal report demonstrates that the improvements are typical for the market through an analysis of at least one comparable property with the same use.

It was my first purchase needing what I thought would be a $60,000 improvements but ended up being $130,000.
