We started the group since we were looking for a meetup that met more frequently and that had more emphasis on getting to know everyone in the room and what they are working on & what their goals are.

From everything I've listened to it seems like there is a heavy emphasis on cash buyers, but it seems like that would limit the number of investors you could sell to.

In the neighborhood association I'm active in there is always a lot of emphasis when BCAD releases the annual taxes on disputing or hiring someone to dispute the increase.Hope this helps.

I think you are on the right track and what leads me to say that is the emphasis you placed on Property Management.

The reason the lower class properties appear (emphasis on appear) to cash flow better is because of the multiple levels of obsolescence you are dealing with.  

(The emphasis is on: "buy RIGHT")!

- cap rate on reported trailing 12 month NOI- cap rate on annualized trailing 90 day income minus trailing 12 month expenses (adjusted for property tax reassessment)- cap rate on brokers pro-forma stabilized NOI- cap rate on MY pro-forma stabilized NOI- cap rate on after-rehab stabilized NOI using cost basis including rehabUgh...Too much emphasis is placed on cap rate.

Just for emphasis, the answer is NO, you were misinformed.  

Of course that puts more emphasis on your clarifying your goals, but you'll need to do that anyway!

I do a lot of videography with emphasis on telling brands story and I would love to help out biggerpockets in any way possible, so if that something that they might need I'd be happy to help.
