From my comps it looks like the home will sell in tip top shape for about 40-48k and rent for $700/mo She is very close to foreclosure (tax delinquency since 2016) and said “I’ll be happy if I get 10k” which to me probably translates to “I’ll be happy if I just get the tax payoff and save my name from foreclosure”.

What a terrible story - we are definitely in a human business where stakes (people’s shelter) are deeply ingrained in ours and our tenants’ basic human need.I have been in education for years and I wonder how translatable the active shooter training we do is relevant to office spaces.

But I view this as a business, and as such there are many other benchmarks that I use to translate the level of success.

She had no other record of problems in the past five years"I could be wrong, but the way i translate this is...You have to wait 5 years....Meaning if the person had an eviction in the past 5 years it will still show up ....in which case, no I am NOT renting to you anyway. 

We did most of the work ourselves, which translated to lots of late nights while kids were sleeping, but after a while you adjust to the new normal.

"They will care" doesn't seem to translate them into making changes to their ratio requirements.   

What is the easiest way to “translate” this description back into some sort of a map that allows me to see where exactly the road easements are?  

@James Wise above are all essentially the basis of it.No money down for new investors tends to translate into I don’t need any money at all.

I think your CPA lost something in the translation.

Metrostudy, a research firm that tracks the housing market, said Tampa Bay’s recent job creation should translate into an annual demand for about 5,400 new apartments and 12,600 homes, townhomes and condos.It would be helpful to know what price point you're looking for and the type of property.
