* What do you do to ensure that the tenant is responsible for security deposit disputes since that is the largest reason for owner lawsuits* How familiar are you with the newly changed laws that can affect you the owner if they are not used correctly?

And although many investors say they are only looking for off-market properties, the largest buying list is still the MLS. 4.

Well, I fully align with Marcus that the largest value of REI is equity growth via debt paydown and appreciation.

That said, I prefer Chase since they have all the functionality you’d need. 

I don't mean to discredit them, I am genuinely curious as to their roles/function/incentives.

I've got a property under contractPurchase price $78K out the door (I have cash to close) Intent: build on the property which already has a functioning well, septic, and needs PGE installed Total buildout on the property utilities: $128K including the original land purchase price.

With real estate, you have to make sure each property is functioning at full capacity or you’ll be losing money.You can analyze properties and be pretty sure (as long as you don't rationalize bad deals into good ones) what your numbers will be. 

I agree that DealCheck (or the BP calculator) does not provide enough tools or functionality to analyze those types of transactions (yet).But I would argue that it does a great job at analyzing more traditional buy & hold SFRs and multi-families, as well as flips and rehab projects. 

WE are seeing this in the Portland market.Montgomery Park the largest office complex in the state that sold about 7 years ago for 250 mil just got bought ( after no one bid it at foreclosure) for 25 mil by Menashe family. its over 1 million sq ft.. dont think you can lose on something like that. reminds me of the buys in 2010 in some markets were sfr's were selling for 1/4 of replacement costs..

I don't know if we can get anything back as there may not be much left in the LLC, but at least he should be held accountable and not keep doing this.I read  largest portion of this thread from start to finish.
