They calculate a "net effective" rent that's more appealing to the tenant, basically amortizing the concession over the lifetime of the lease.

Even if you want to roll the dice, at least is a calculated risk, not a surprise down the road. 

He ran the numbers, we used a calculator to run numbers for rental or flip property, and the math made sense.

I’ve done my calculations and have seen that I will be breaking even with this investment day one.

They claim only 2-3 percent of the companies are audited so the more clientele they have the percentage of audits will be less even if they make some calculated risks.Few Deductions they highlight which you can get with proper planning and right CPA.1) 119A - Revenue stream bifurcation2) Augusta Loophole 280A - use primary residence for 14 days of business and pay you back without tax implications.3) Paying your medical and children education fee using c-corp4) offcourse the famous charitable llc - another program and package.Thanks for the insight.

That's because the city won't calculate the actual amount till a structure is built, aka it's not just a plot of land anymore.This will obvious cause your property tax bill to go up and also your mortgage escrow account as well (sometimes these things can make your mortgage shoot up a few hundred a month). 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

If anything, I'm able to be a resource for them because I've read the entire book and have access to calculators here on BP to help them run analyses.

I think you can through BP or through the aforementioned REI meet ups more than likely.i am inclined to agree with a previous poster in that i'm not sure driving for dollars will necessarily yield you what you are looking for.Network with as many other MF investors as possible in your area and find an agent that knows the market and can at the very least set you up on an MLS search for your criteria.Coupled with BP's deal analysis calculator you can then begin underwriting properties you receive from the MLS with your agent or on your own to better understand your market and tailor your expectations moving forward.I'm an investor focused agent that focuses on MF and while we are not in the same market if you have any questions about moving forward with MF LTRs i'd love to see how i could help.

I used the lower of rent amounts for analysis. https://www.biggerpockets.com/analysis/rentals/ee5f6928-93ce... is link to the BP Calculation on it.
