Feel free to revisit any sections where you feel less confident.

@Dave Foster, thank you for this information, I appreciate it.

With the AIrDNA data and your own data, that should give you some pretty good confidence in at least the revenue side of your spreadsheet forecast for the property.Mike

If you are going for more appreciation (and it is in an appreciating market) the taking a lower cash flow might be fine.If you're confident with your rent number and the fixed expenses you have, then the only thing to negotiate is price and terms.

@Dave Foster have you ever combined a 1031 with a CRT?

You insight helps me to feel confident in my methods I've been doing/thinking.

Any tips for fostering open communication and avoiding conflicts over time?

I joined the BP community to network with people who I can learn from and also to learn how to analyze deals to give me the confidence to put an offer on something that makes sense for me.

I've begun volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to gain more confidence in DIY improvements. 

contact @Dave Foster before you close on your sale to ensure you never have constructive access to the proceeds or it’s too late.
