So far it has worked out quite well and sure beats counting coins.

Are you only counting unleveraged appreciation and not the cash flow?

Count your own money and forget about theirs. 

Thank you,I'm new to this type of investing (more familiar with buying businesses) so I'm cobbling together information from brokers, chatGPT and everything in between to figure out what I need to (at reasonable cost while controlling risk profile) complete an acquisition.Facility is in rural Kansas, and is composed of a portfolio of 4 buildings on 3 parcels. 195 unit count - ~10 years old on average, some are newer (2 years) others older (15+ years)I'm trying to learn what I should watch out for in the process and what studies will be needed to get a good level of comfort before acquiring the facilities

-Analyze the neighborhood where the property is located and figure out what a property of similar size, bedroom and bathroom count will rent for. 

Scott told our group yesterday he did a count and now owns 178 properties. 

Don't count on appreciation, even in a seemingly hot market like Florida.

Kindly count me in.

My opinion is that yes, these hours can count towards REPS before listing the house, as long as the work is substantial and consistent.

(Fannie-Freddie just started allowing projected income from ADUs to be counted toward qualification this year.)Just in general, though, any kind of rent appraisal I see here in Colorado -- be it for short-term rentals/Airbnb or for LTR -- are woefully low.
