It's a bit art and a bit science but the real truth is it's a guessing game.1. 

There are assets you can't invest in such as art and life insurance but most real estate and private businesses are acceptable.Crowdfunding isn't the slam dunk it looks like.

Learning to message this well is part of the art of structuring real estate development buy-side projects and takes some practice. 

That, in my experience, is more art than science.What I'll typically do is reference Rentometer first and keep that in mind while I consider whether my unit is above, below, or right at average quality. 

Check out the beautiful down town with the Sangre de Cristo Art Center, the Arkansas River Walk and Nature Center. 

Investing is not an art open to interpretation but a science that you can perfect in order to produce repeatable results.Understanding What constitutes a good deal, developing solid Due Diligence and Deal Structuring systems.

Also section 8 is usually a couple hundred over regular tenants and you can ask section 8 for a yearly raise and they're usually very good with that (at least in my experience)I still think Real State business is really good in Baltimore it does have its caveats but overall the returns are pretty good (In my experience again) how different was it before.Btw, pretty cool art.

I can also recommend the agent I worked with, Brad Ledford with The Art of Real Estate.

And calculating NOI is an art form in itself.

You can find more information about that here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/membership-typesIf you don't want to do that, if you own/buy an Adobe editor you can create your own editable fields, then use an online document signing service to send the lease to your tenants to sign electronically.
