So when some people are told things they can formulate it but others really need to see it outlined on paper to pick it up quicker.It's a communication and  expectancy thing.

@Edmond Claessens Do you mind sharing how you formulated your team and got your system in place for your first deal? 

Unfortunately in situations like this you are required to come up with a pro-forma NOI in order to be able to formulate an offer.

I'm your age and just coming to the realization and goal formulation that you did a decade ago.

Formulate contingencies.

Your ability to speak, write, express ideas, formulate a process and apply logic comes from formal educational studies which will show through to others.

My hope is to get with them and have them help me formulate a plan on how to best start socking away money towards a first home. 

Honestly I'm too new to the investment game to really have a full strategy laid out (still reading, learning and formulating), but I will likely be looking at rental properties outside the city to get started (unless of course I come across a great sponsor unit in a new condo conversion!).

With all this in mind we are just seeing whats out there and formulating our plan financially.

When formulating an investment plan, investors must consider rate of return and risk factors.Portfolio management involves diversifying assets to protect against market risk and generate returns.
