I can justify any price (and some high fee syndicators are still doing so), if I just play with assumptions, prepay and buy down my interest rate, and hope that sub-5% cap rates will be returning in the next few years.But if you know your market and market cycle, have an idea where interest rates may be going (this is an educated guess for all of us), and then have your assumptions, you can certainly have the conversations you reference with brokers and see what their take is on pricing and if it is worth writing.Finally, I have said this before and will continue to say it, whether we are talking single family homes or 400 unit apartment complexes, off-market purchases do not make something a deal.

I don't personally know anyone who signed up for the training from either TT or the attorney, so I can't speak to that.My suggestion would be that if you don't have any real estate specific education, take the real estate pre-licensing classes in your state.

So the affordability was worse for financed properties in the 1980s but the income was higher compared to that cost than now.This may be worse cash flow market ever but value adds can produce large sweat equity, alternate rent models (rent by room, STR, MTR, etc) has never been easier, education has never been easier, there are other RE options other than residential.
