Ultimately, you need to understand the investor mindset, and be able to execute quickly, and okay writing multiple, or embarrassing, offers.

If so, a property selling for 800k-1mil...what are the steps to get it under contract in a multifamily deal, is it a must for a earnest down payment or are these deals typically executed without an edm but an expressed interest given a due diligence period in a reasonable amount of time?

And I have several friends who are executive chefs.

Thank you @Patricia Steiner Your insights were very helpful I executed the contract per your invaluable insights as I was closing today & wanted it to be ready for tomorrow for the PM to take ownership for this out of state property (my 1st). 

Purchase price: $154,000 Cash invested: $35,000 3bd 2ba 2car garage executive level rental.

Hi all, I am fairly new to BP and focused on Rental properties. i recently decided to invest in an already tenanted property out of town through a broker who collected a separated "finders fee" my issue is since the closing both the broker and the title company refuses to give me a copy of the fully executed closing documents.

@Joseph Firmin#1 The leases should be part of the DD materials that seller delivers to Buyer (or allows Buyer to review) upon execution of the PSA.

There is always a "dance" that goes on between how much time you spend running numbers on a property you'd like to but don't control vs spending time to control a property you don't know is feasible.Aside from inputting data into a pro forma it is imperative for you to understand the development process itself which is accomplished by creating a critical path that shows the sequential order of the tasks that need to be executed along with their timing and the 3rd party players, functions and costs associated with doing those tasks.The combined information you get from the pro forma and the critical path are foundational in forming the agreement that secures the property which will be articulated in a purchase and sale agreement or in your case a JV. 

@Debasish BhattacharjeeTechnically if he is refusing to provide you with an executed W-9 you should withhold and remit income taxes on his payment at the prescribed rate, and then issue a 1099-MISC to him at the end of the year with "REFUSED" in the recipient TIN box.Always get a W-9 as part of a complete and executed contract before any work begins. 

Sorry if seems like dumb questions but the concepts seemed simple in theory I’m just curious how to execute
