I ALWAYS include sensitivity tables, on as many variables as I can (rent growth, appreciation, expense growth, sales price, ect)The fields where you also make assumptions (capex @ 5%, interest rate, ect) I would break each of those out as a separate column to calculate from so that you can easily change the assumptions to test different scenarios.

When these changes are applied, it looks a lot more attractive, and when the banks grind down for their sensitivity analyses (rents up/down, expenses up/down) it looks far more bankable.(3) Don't be a tour guide.The last four banks we interacted with loved our project profile and were impressed with our management team.  

They can be a bit sensitive at times.

These will have small footprints (easy to move), and they'll be somewhat price-sensitive.

Regardless of how you record correspondence and interaction with your tenants, you need to ensure you safe guard, manage, and destroy any collected information in keeping with privacy law in the jurisdiction where you are conducting business.

If you throw $1M to a company and they blow it, what safeguards do you have?

this really should not be a consideration.If you are not the romantic type and you are going to consider this you should also consider the safe guards that you will not have if the properties are titled in only one of your names. 

If you're single then only $250K would be tax free but because you are renting it now you could 1031 the remaining amount and get the best of all worlds - some tax free and some tax deferred money.I'm very sensitive to tax ramifications as you can imagine given the world I operate in. 

Don't lock in a rate or do anything else time-sensitive until you've corrected all title issues.NOTE: In NorCal, we call them title/escrow folks.

Tenants are sensitive to appliances as they show the most visible signs of age.
