@Oli HarpsTo manage your Oakland 4-plex effectively, stay informed about the local market, build local connections, conduct thorough tenant screening, consider value-add opportunities, decide whether to self-manage or hire a property management company, network with local investors, plan for growth through scaling your portfolio, explore financing options, and stay informed about the local market through online communities and resources.

However, the outline below is fairly standard across most business plans.Executive Summary (Objective, mission, keys to success, etc.)Company Summary (Goals, operations, ownership & personnel experience, etc.)Market Analysis & Strategy (Approach for finding deals, investment strategy, etc.)Financial Plan (Startup costs, leverage, reserves, etc.)Exit Strategy (Timeline or milestones for exiting or refinancing investments)

Will an appraiser disregard the income from the non-conforming garden unit when assessing the property for refinancing?

There is so much BAD information online about LLC's and real estate investments its disgusting. 

I have 2 cars that we are trying to exclude the payment from for dti ratios.One was owned at $852 monthly payment (this was refinanced to remove borrower from the loan)this one is giving me a problem because they are asking for payoff but honda is saying they take up to 10 days to be able to send it.Any guidance on a way to get this closed sooner would be great, seller is on a tight timeline.Second one is a lease that we have had approval to terminate (for $2600 fee) and then that one would be excluded.
