Moving for work. And my wife has family in AR.

We're looking forward to it.

a while. I must say that all cash, your suggestions and advice are the ones that always seem to get my attention.

Thanks for providing valuable advice to all those folks, including myself, who are just starting out in this area of business.

but I am moving to Arkansas hopefully this fall.

I have not invested in real estate yet, but hope to soon.

is it better to be a pessimist, a realist, or an optimist?

If you are a pessimist, like me, I feel like that I have passed on a few deals that could have been good just because I tend to estimate vacancy rates, repair / maintenance, etc to be towards the bad end of the spectrum.

Does anyone have a good excel spreadsheet that they use to analyze potential deals?

I'm using one that I found on line that helps immensly, but it is lacking some vital calculations, such as Cap Rate, etc. Since I am no whiz at Excel, does anyone mind sharing one, or providing a link to a free one?

Thanks
