Closing costs in New York can vary wildly from lender to lender (I moved to Texas from NY) so please do shop around.

Free cash flow is cash flow after debt service, which means it is a wildly unpredictable number from buyer to buyer.

@John Underwood That's wild!

The government is facilitating a low cost alternative to public offerings that would make most syndications not viable.Private offerings are the wild wild west of investing with no audits, filing requirements, little regulation, tons of inexperienced sponsors, and lots of complexity. 

BP forums are great, but the answers will vary wildly from post to post :D 

It's purely an indication of past performance, or a wildly optimistic pro-forma.

Thus, Zillow estimates in Texas are a wild guess at best.

You can't predict wild fires or pandemics either.

You can be 3-4 blocks away from the wild Wild West with bad guys and shooting and stealing.

Thanks @Justin Anderson, I have certainly noticed that iGMS runs wild west with their SDLC, which for me has been nice because they are able to quickly tailor to my needs as I've been testing things out. :)  Would certainly be scary though knowing that if/when I finally had something that I wanted in a stable state.I also run an app dev team for my day job and also created my mobile app platform (with a dev), but I am not a developer at all (other than some SQL skills), so like you said, these tools are becoming increasingly more available to the less technically inclined and easy to integrate, which is exciting.
