If those in any industry do not police their own then you will have the Wild West. 4 or 5 investigators in any real estate commission can't police the thousands out there doing bad things, just as it was in the Wild West, the community had to come together to defend the town with the Sheriff, he couldn't do it alone!

The winning characteristics are that they have stable work, are beyond the age of wild parties, have a long-term (3-7 years) local commitment BUT they do not plan on living in Lincoln forever.That last point may seem counter-intuitive, but because they do not want to live in Lincoln forever, they are unlikely to buy a home and move out of the unit.

It's the wild wild west, just be careful and protect yourself.

She is not wild about my rentals and has opposed nearly every one I purchased, but we are over 30 doors and she does all the books as her degree is in business.

The wild card that I am missing is a preliminary cost for rehabbing the property to get to my ARV and seeing if the property is worth taking a look at to firm up the rehab numbers.I am thinking of possibly adding a certain cost per square foot or even a certain percentage of the differential between the purchase price and the ARV but I don't have a clue where to start.  

That 1 off restaurant has the chance of being wildly profitable, break even or out of business in a few years.  

I'm pretty confident that the podcast and the calculators don't go over specific repair estimates because prices vary so wildly between different regions.

Bookkeepers tend to charge for services in two different ways. 1) Hourly: usually at or around $20-50 an hour, but this number can vary wildly depending on the level of service you're getting.

If a property is listed at $100k and you get it for $80k, that means that either the property was never actually worth $100k, or that the seller was wildly misinformed or under severe duress.
