The major pieces of information you are missing include NOI which includes deducting all of your operating expenses from your gross rents sans debt service, market dynamics (what are vacancy rates and asking rents like in the market the building is located in?)

You take every piece of information and spin it one way.

So touchable to decide if you want to pay for some piece of mind or dive into the depths to save a few(or a lot!)

Mark I really wish I had seen your post before I paid for JN's program.Also high five to:  Anne Barnett Wholesaler from Omaha, NE - replied over 1 year agoI noticed that statue in the background of JN's videos also - I wondered if it was placed there as his "good luck" piece or placed strategically to impress his audience.My experience:  I came across Jerry Norton's RE investing book several years ago but had not bought into any program back then. 

I do this for piece of mind and redundancy.  

Any other advice, or pieces that you think I'm missing - I'd be grateful for any and all wisdom that is shared with me. 

I had become very active on Facebook during this time because I needed people to do various tasks for me in exchange for a piece of the deal once it was completed.

City planner, building department, engineering technician (for second address), public works (second water meter if we want go that route) and Electrical Utilities Department will all be involved on new construction and all will want to get their piece of the pie (at least in my city).Additionally, if we want to have a separate water meter and the ADU was plumbed separately a second water meter could be installed.

Because in this case zoning took a 155 acre piece of real estate with incredibly prime location, and made it only worth at maximum 145 acres miles outside the city. 

Its more like 98/2 with an additional 5% saying they do stuff so they can get a piece of someone else's hard work while they have not done anything and live in their mom's basement.All that said there is value well over the cost for those who apply themselves to deriving the value.
