Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

What followed after that was an offer from them to start making weekly payments until my entire Inner Circle membership fee was refunded over 10 weeks, followed by sending me a new e-sign settlement doc with those stipulations in place of the original - even after I refused the "payment plan" option via email earlier today (as you can imagine, given the experience thus far, the last thing I'm interested in chasing my money/answers even further/longer).

I send a text to introduce myself and ask if we can answer any questions about the listing or to support them in finalizing their booking.We follow up with an e-mail reiterating the same information.  

As a funder, I can provide an EMD of E dollars with a compensation of C dollars.

These are rural counties so I was not expecting to get this back so quick.. my client e mailed me Tuesday we negotiated the deal ( bare land) I open escrow yesterday .

Do a search on google, syndication websites, reddit, etc2) research the rang e of return for that type of investment.if the typical return is about 8% to 12%, I would be skeptical if you were getting offered a 24%+ returnBest of luck!

I would be curious if you e-mailed your city, county and state officials with your story how they justify you having to pay property taxes.
