Hello John, Having a good agent to assist you will take a lot of weight from your shoulders.

They’re not going to be 100% accurate (airdna is probably head and shoulders above the rest) but that’s where I would start.

I got the cold shoulder whenever I brought up investing.

They pretty much turned a cold shoulder to me and said figure it out myself with the construction company they set me up with. 

Building Width and Depth is huge. 

. - OR- Dimensional lumber/Tongue & Groove decking with a minimum of 2 nails per board (or 1 nail per board if each board is equal to or less than 6 inches in width).

I would network at REIA meetings, etc. to find an experienced local investor for whom the numbers are working (I guarantee you they are out there) and look over their shoulder to see if they are doing their math different than you are, or perhaps they are working on a completely different equation than you are.

It really feels like 10 bricks were just taken off my shoulders!

Each size has a different width due to how hard it isto park a longer unit at the very front angle of their turn in. 20’s- 10 wide; 30’s- 12 wide; 40’s- 15 wide.

This was a huge weight off my shoulder, as having what is essentially a mortgage (student loans)  is a huge hindrance to investing in real estate.
