Conservative, expected and optimistic scenarios, plus the acquisition and monthly operating worksheets to run on every serious Guelph property.
A single estimate creates false confidence. Use conservative, expected and optimistic scenarios for every property. Your decision should still be understandable when the outcome is not ideal.
Model each assumption three ways
- Monthly rent
- Vacancy allowance
- Monthly repairs
- Capital reserve
- Mortgage payment
- Property management
- Monthly cash flow
- Cash required
Purchase and acquisition worksheet
- · Purchase price
- · Down payment
- · Land transfer tax
- · Legal and registration costs
- · Inspection and due diligence
- · Appraisal and lender costs
- · Immediate repairs
- · Renovation or conversion
- · Initial reserve fund
- · Total cash required
Monthly operating worksheet
- · Gross rent, plus parking, storage and laundry income
- · Less vacancy allowance = effective income
- · Property tax, insurance, utilities
- · Repairs and maintenance, capital reserve
- · Management, condo fees, landscaping and snow
- · Other operating costs, mortgage payment
- · Total outflow and estimated cash flow
