Wouldn't an overall project plan try to get a good percentage with tenants over that first year period or is that unrealistic.

Speaking for myself... we provide our customers realistic schedules, and we're good at sticking to them (Barring acts of God or delays beyond our control)I would tend to say that if you have a contractor that you have to prod to get to completion dates, you've either hired the wrong kind of contractor or you set an unrealistic completion date.TL;DR - Hire a professional who will do what he said he will do.

IMHO, 15% cap rate is unrealistic.

It talks about how in America, people are unrealistically fearful.

Many price changes or a wide difference between original and current asking price usually means that the seller has their head in the clouds about what the property is worth and may be unrealistic in expectations.

I'm actually proud at how well I did compared to how well I used to perform will sellers but unfortunately the guy was still unrealistic trying to get 270k for the property.

This makes probates a somewhat unrealistic source of leads, as it would be incredibly time consuming and difficult to access the information that I am looking for.

@Steve Vaughan for clarity, you will likely have good actual financial results and, therefore, won't have a need for proforma results.Many commercial sellers and their brokers provide proforma results as if properties were full (even if they are not), rents were increased, and expenses reduced and it generates an unrealistic valuation. 

Am I becoming yet another unrealistic owner :).I have a 39 unit property that I have remodeled and re-rented.

He said that all of the brokers in this area have enacted this action in reaction to area wholesalers whom habitually submit unrealistic offers.
