Are there standard percentages that you guys use when estimating (e.g. 5% of gross rent allocated for repairs) or should I be more in depth.

As you move through the process allocate time to your tasks.

Should I skip this section of leads and allocate the spaces to the other categories?

Books can look good but then the restaurant needs a makeover that creates a "capital event" of a few hundred K or more putting them at risk if they have not saved and allocated for it.5.

Once you’ve saved a little cash and start investing via a 401K plan through your W2 job or your personally opened IRA plan, there are some really great tools/visuals for retirement planning and asset allocation.

I always feel I am either not allocating enough here or I’m being too conservative in my analysis.

I think you may be asking the wrong questions..First and foremost you started a business..You need to focus on Marketing to make the phone ring, sales to answer the phone and close the client, operations to operate your business , accounting to make sure funds are placed and allocated correctly.First thing I would suggest is creating the property business model with all the above created and systemized.

I believe in strategy diversification: asset allocation (index funds with a robo adviser), dividend growth (cherry-picked Dividend Aristocrats), and alternative assets (crowdfund offerings, which include private equity and real estate, that were available previously only to institutional investors and accredited investors).

You must allocate an amount to land (let's say 15%) that leaves you with a 'basis' of $85,000.
