After I started using J Scott's "appraisal packet" methodology, I have not had a single FHA deal have an appraisal issue.

Through the forums, people will invariably critique or agree with your methodology.

It includes, among other things, a comprehensive map of the Cleveland area, grading each area from A+ down to F, using a consistent, objective and transparent methodology using publicly available data.

Then, as the deals flow in, dissect each one using your preferred analysis methodology.

"Most common methods work fine unless one is running sophisticated strategies (with sizable capital) or taking outside capital (with stringent reporting requirements).More often that not, investor expectations will determine your calculation methodology.

I am concerned, however, about people feeling ghosted by a coach.I am intrigued by your methodology because you find leads based on high motivation factors, which I think is a great way to cut down the top of the funnel.

I'm wondering if anyone is cashflowing from properties they recently purchased that aren't ancient, torn up, or in awful areas.  

@Ronald McDonald The best way to decide if a cost segregation study will be of benefit to you is to get a no-cost estimate from a company that provides engineering-based studies, the IRS' preferred methodology.

Found a guy who does a lot of hotels, but the guy looks ancient.

Looking deceiving simple - NOI / price pad - they are only really useful if comparing apples to apples in the same bushel ... and it helps if the same person is doing the calculations on them all (using the same methodology obviously).Even then it is just a ratio which allows you to quickly compare the cost of the similar cashflows ... it doesn't confirm any of them as a good investment.
