I've had properties undervalued by $100k because the appraiser was obviously not familiar with my city, and I've had refis where the appraisal came back much higher than what I could realistically sell for at that moment in time.

Bottom line is you have to have a solid grip on what properties rent for in your market - not only direct comps to what you have but also what's above and below you, because tenants can and will move based on affordability both ways ("downsizing" to save money or "upsizing" because an extra $50/100 gets them a much nicer place).Once you intimately know what your market is, and what's available, you can compare what you are charging to those figures and adjust accordingly.

First you put people on the phone, so that is an intimate situation, second you lead off telling them that they are basically guaranteed to make $500k and will do so for as long as it takes until they get there, then later say it costs $15-40k .. they even say once you make the $500k you'll get the $15k-40k back.What is most disappointing about this is as I did my diligence after the call I found a youtube video of a lady who is NOT a high/medium income individual give her review of the program and she had nothing bad to say about it, she just said she was unsuccessful because she didn't put in enough effort because she had too many life situations going on.

I felt like I was frozen in time watching the figure of the man slip away into the hallway as if I hadn't seen him.

But here are some really interesting numbers...Ok so this one doesn't look too bad but notice how much more the townhouses and condos dropped in prices over the last downturn.2007 peak to now isn't so good...Before the 2007 run up to now is better, but even then, apartment condos performed the worse (so best case scenario, you have the worse performing asset type, worse case scenario you had a terrible return), and that's assuming you had nothing go wrong with the condo (special assessment etc)But benchmarks don't even tell the whole story, because if you had a specific condo investment, and you tracked it's value overtime, benchmark prices isn't the right approach as it evolves overtime (benchmark price is the price of a typical property generated at each point in time).

Some townhomes are like $250,000 and rent is still $2000+.Where I’m from, a $400,000 house would probably rent for about $2000 so I was pleasantly surprised to see how much more rent you can get per dollar, is this pretty standard or am I missing something about Freeport?

There was a point in time that you could have a market share out of 200+% Made no sense.
