I am surprised you rent to people with bad credit...seems risky. Do you require more of a deposit?

I've been very lucky, but maybe the price and location does my screening for me.

Thank you for sharing!!

jglass3lsu@yahoo.com for the spreadsheet. Thank you!

Hey Guys. Download your own spreadsheet, the 10 year analysis. Other spreadsheets available.

I have used the 10 year analysis for many years.

I'd appreciate any insight you can provide

I base almost everything off of the cashflows. I won't do one that has negative cashflow...unless I'm absolutely convinced it's a distressed purchase with significant appreciation potential.

I assume:

- the low end of expected rent and with no rental growth over time
- the high end of expected vacancy (e.g. 1.5 months/year)
- the high end of maintenance (at least 1% of property value per year)
-the high end of required cap ex upon exit
- paying a full boat of property management expenses (8% of gross rents)
- a full boat of real estate agency fees upon exit

IF after going through all of that I find that my realized cash yield is at least 8%, then I look to proceed with the purchase.

I find that with markets as recovered as they have been since the crisis, it's hard to find houses that meet these parameters any longer.
