I'm sure you now understand why.For $30K it better be a gold-plated bus with fur-lined seats and each passenger gets a private massage during the tour, champagne, caviar, etc. and a personal butler for the weekend.David J Dachtera

I can agree with that.. and if they get a quick sale and cut their holding costs and pass that on to you I can agree with that... so massage it a little.. it might be better than we are thinking.

I would pay those if I were looking to do a complicated tax structure that you needed somebody knowledgeable in the ins and outs of some truly intricate tax concepts, how to apply them and how to keep them legit.If you're looking for somebody to help you with a MFH, an entity set up and some bookkeeping and tax work - well - to be honest, at those rates, you'd better get golden paperclips attached to your papers and a massage while you sit in your appointment.

Their thought process can also be skewed by a subjective approach in trying to massage the numbers to meet what they see as the price needed to get the deal which may include an underestimated budget or inflated exit that is not a true comp.

I want to make sure they massage the callers and be skripted robots.

These are the expenses usually 'massaged' or omitted entirelyRepairsMaintenanceReal replacement depreciationLeasing feesLegal and eviction expensesSpecial tax assessmentsWater billsCommon area utilitiesAccounting feesFines and penaltiesVacancy expenseOutside contractorHandymanOffice suppliesValue of manager's apartmentReferral feesMy advise is to go over the expenses and see (1) what expenses are missing from the financial statement (2) verify that the expenses appearing on the financial statement are in line with property averages for the area or there is a good reason they are not and (3) verify actual occupancy rates over the last 2 years.If you still have a deal obtain the last few years tax returns, and see if the returns match the financial statements. 

She has zero interest in Real Estate.. compare that to some mid west factory... your not going to find fully functioning restaurant in the facility feeding people for FREE .. free day care FRee massages etc etc.
