Hey everyone, Im creating a pro forma for the first time and want to make sure im creating this correctly.

How well or poorly have properties in this area appreciated/rents increasedWhat property managers will manage the property, if any?  

And honestly, MOST but certainly not all paid mentorships are just mid-level marketing funnels to get you to do more (common examples are deal sourcing or raising capital, where you do the work and keep a cut, but the mentor also gets a decent cut, too)  Not to say it isn't worth it, but a multifamily mentor will not help you on NNN deals, and at this point you don't know what is better for you.Additionally, I always recommend you start doing smaller deals first before hiring a mentor. 

This is useful information but much more useful would be a look at the pitfalls.

This is a very complicated business.

This approach allows you to reduce living costs while recycling capital for future investments.Good luck!
