We had anticipated this number would be in the 80% of the class range under contract.4) In hindsight, we achieved our goal of getting confidence to take the plunge out of state using the BRRRR strategy that many on BP here explain in detail.

Which means the “casual” investor won’t receive the return they anticipate.  

This is most of what is done, and discussed, here on this platform.I'll respond once, but I anticipate you completely understood the post.

So, they are never spot on, but they average out somewhat since some of your estimated tasks will be MORE and some LESS than anticipated.

I really anticipate to see the detailed response from Michael once he has time.

Rents are anticipated to be 2250/mo so it fits nicely with the 1% rule. 

It was suficient/accepted by the lender that granted the mortgage for the duplex, so I did not anticipate running into this issue trying to get the heloc.

They anticipate small increases; these are always less that CPI so unless a landlord here is willing to go to the expense of petitioning the board the rents will in time always fall significantly below market value.

We knew there was some hot air in them, I expected more fraudulent folks to have created note "funds" and it pyramid down and blow up but i think a lot got stopped in their tracks when they were anticipating a rate cut and not a lot of higher % debt notes to be offered so they never indulged in such tomfoolery.

I would cut my losses and move on , can’t make money if your stuck, as far as dealing with county and waiting for permits ect the time is always more then anticipated  I could keep going on why I would cut my losses.
