Thanks for the comment. I agree with your thought but not so much your numbers. 35% seems like an excessive amount for professional management. Since this would be a rental instead of a flip, the capital improvements should be the same as repairs. But I do agree there’s not much profit margin if you fully finance a $153K house and only collect $1,300 in rent.

I suggest a factor of 35 % off the gross rents to account for PM, vacancy, capital improvement, and repair before subtracting out operating costs. 153k purchase with 1300 in rents is not a 10% return. I would not pay more than 75k for that rent rate…
