Our biggest savings of the year
Victorian Renovations
Financial Plan
The following financial information shows the assumptions and outcomes of the purchase, renovation, and rental of the first property on Fifth and Pearl. No attempt has been made to discuss the implications of purchasing other buildings, since these will happen on a more ad hoc basis.
7.1 Important Assumptions
The following are conservative assumptions that will influence our financial projections.

7.2 Break-even Analysis
The regular Break-even Analysis is not appropriate for this project, but the following text explains the Break-even chart.
Investors will receive 66% of the rental income from the property. It is estimated that this property will produce $2400 per month of rental. At maximum occupancy, the payout to investors will be fixed monthly cost of $1,600. The remaining $800 per month will be kept in a savings account to pay for general upkeep of the building and any unexpected repairs. It is estimated that routine bills and maintenance will be no more than $400 per month.
