Just be aware that (1) you can easily do whatever it is Tardus is selling much cheaper elsewhere (2) Tardus special investments for members only are mundane investments available at the same terms to anyone with a computer and internet connection and (3) the strategy of borrowing from a HELOC to juice returns carries with it a much greater risk than is apparently disclosed. 

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

I send a text to introduce myself and ask if we can answer any questions about the listing or to support them in finalizing their booking.We follow up with an e-mail reiterating the same information.  

I am brand new here and I look forward to learning from the best in the business.

Hoping others experienced similar with input to share, lessons learned etc.1) REFRIGERATOR: Brand new refrigerator was installed after tenant  maybe two-three years ago. 

These are rural counties so I was not expecting to get this back so quick.. my client e mailed me Tuesday we negotiated the deal ( bare land) I open escrow yesterday .

They could buy just the battery and not the solar if their problem is really the power company turning off the juice. 

For instance in the real world.. i bought 12 brand new constructions back in the Katrina days .. this was in the top county in Mississippi they ranged 150k to 225k each..
