Investment Property Forecasting

[Rollie Swanson]

I am in the beginning stages of starting an investment partnership with a friend of mine.  I would like to forecast and plan for potential net worth and/or equity increases that we could expect throughout several years.  For example, if we buy X number of properties in year 1, X number of properties in year 2, etc. how will we know when we can expect (using conservative numbers) when we can refi and use that money to fund more properties?  

Is this something that most investors do?  Are there templates that are already made so that I don't have to make on from scratch, or should I just use the analysis tool on BP for single properties and then merge all of the data together.  If I'm way off of the mark here, please let me know.  Thanks for the help!
