Was called the next day for a on the spot interview but was on the way to school and had no way to turn back and make it back in time so i asked if i could reschedule the next day first thing in the morning and they said that would be perfect.

It really is a beautiful spot overlooking the bay and city. 

Sure, there are bad spots...but so does every city.

Once you have done that, then determine the going cap rate for the type of property you have determined is a needed resource.Once all that is done, sit down with your banker and find out what type of financing package would be available to construct the asset you have determined is the best fit for your spot.

Well they asked me to come over and take a look at a new tear spot on the stairs and asked if they put $1000 towards the carpet if they could get it replaced.

Do you have a sweet spot?

I’m also privileged to have an amazing agent who helps me find the right properties that hit the “sweet spot” for what renters (families) are looking for in SFHs.

We will raise 9 months of principle and interest reserves (along with the funds to close and Capex) but I want to have a clear picture of what each month will look like so we can plan for any weak spots up front.I am not an Excel wizard so if anyone has a tool they can share for this type of budgeting that would be spectacular. 

@Sam Shueh is spot on.

@Kate@Kate Ziegler undefined is spot on with the timing of rent.
