We've struggled with Quickbooks for the last several years (and before that I literally had a shoe box with receipts in it).

It becomes risky if you buy an investment that won't pay you back in year one so having a strong buy box and knowing your numbers is key!

Last thing thougt of is have a little box of books and toys for little kids parents always appreciate it. 

How about their various addresses appear to be nothing but mail drop box and forwarding services.

We went in with what we hoped would be the winning offer because this is the one that checked the most boxes of everything we'd seen in months and we really like it.Am I even under contract for this property with everything in the address being wrong? 

There are a LOT of operators that are scrambling at the moment, and dont come close to our buy-box, however I do invest with 3 larger operators (BAM is one of them), and overall I still believe their underwriting is sound and viable.Im not at liberty to discuss details, however I see some good things on the horizon with this group.

What is your REI buy box?

Most standard MLS contracts now include a box check for 1031 exchanges.
