As long as the property was ready (habitable) and available for rent (advertised for rent) then the property was in service. 

We will use appraised market rents in both of those scenarios.Typical target closing timeline is four weeks from appraisal payment. 10-14 days for upfront processing and all third-party items to be returned like appraisal, title, and insurance; 10-14 days allocated for underwriting and closing. 

Were you targeting single family homes or multi-unit properties?

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

He did it through (1) professional website (2) constantly optimized for SEO (3) new social media articles at timely intervals (4) sponsorship of charitable events (5) ongoing public relations campaign (6) billboards (7) advertising in local newspapers (8) SEM .  

It may not be possible, but if you're going to go the appreciation route (versus cashflow), then you're best off targeting 5+ unit properties where you can force the appreciation by driving NOI.

This will give you an idea of what kind of budget you can take on and in turn, give you an idea of the kinds of properties you are currently in position to target. 

Figuring out who my target group was helped me get the right investors and form long-term partnerships.

Hilton and Marriott not only have nice properties in high travel areas, but they also advertise ALL THE TIME.  

we work with a multi state operator to find new sites and we generally target .6 - 1 acre for our buildings, but they are single tenant free standing buildings.
