@Vincent Rodriguez You're not dreaming....that's just the reality of SoCal.

The more deals I analyzed, the more I refined my spreadsheet, the more accurate my calculations were getting.During and after my first deal I learned a bunch of stuff and further refined my model so my expected outcome would better match reality in the future.

Maybe it's harsh of me to say this, instead of "godspeed" - but it is the reality of this business.Once you get going and make some money - then is the time to address entities and taxes.

It's the price of doing business and, in reality, the tenant pays for it so I dont care much.

The reality is- a lot of properties, if not most, just don't cash flow.

Surely not reality.

It's just the reality of the business.How you get them to respond is you have your agent send an offer with your prequalification letter and proof of funds. 

The subject property should should be right in the range of those properties.But in reality, This almost never the case. 

Some people will give the Seller 30-60 days extra where that is held in escrow - but the truth is that if you are clear and up front with them when presenting the contract, it won't matter and is not necessary.Finally, the reality is that if you do proper diligence and have a reasonable feasibility period (e.g. 2-3 months is standard for any commercial property) then you will be fine. 

Says the person who live in Paradise Valley....lolIn all reality I'm not begrudging her lifestyle choices, I am frugal myself and live far below my means.
