Why didn't you call me? You trust me? I would not recommend a condo for all the reasons we talked about in the multifamily meet ups.

Hi Nick. Of course we can meet up. Just hit me up a day or two before you're in town and I'll be happy to talk.

@Jonathan Johnson Good is relative and it depends on your area. If all you properties are selling at 6% and you can get one at 8% then that is good. The higher the cap rate the cheaper it is but doesn't necessarily mean its a good deal because the higher the cap the worse the places are usually. Just as an example I used 12% & 14% and my numbers still looked fine.

@Jonathan Johnson The great thing about commercial properties is value is vey straightforward. Really there is only one variable, (I'm probably going to get hammered for this) the capitalization rate. Just so you have an idea. It is pretty straightforward. I conservatively estimated the gross rents, I found most of the other expenses taxes, insurance, water, landscaping, management, etc. and exaggerated the others. Came up with a Estimated Net income and divided it by a very high (once again conservative) cap rate and cam up with the ARV. I might post the actual numbers I used (don't know yet). I have experience in rehab so I estimated the rehab and added a healthy margin for the known (there always is) unknowns subtracted profit and and came up with the MAO. Then I threw that number out the window and asked the seller to give the property to me for the back taxes and kind of went from there. Let me know if you are getting this its all very scientific.

Hi Alisha. Welcome to BP. I love this site and I know you will too. What is great about here is that there is an expert in almost every category and not only one but at least a dozen in each niche and each market. I'm an advocate for the local meet ups so make sure you try to get out to as much as you can. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Welcome and can't wait to see you around.
