They will say they just redid this and that etc. and expenses are only 35%.They say this to justify a higher number.What they aren't saying that if your time horizon as the buyer is a 10 year hold before selling then costs might look like this.Year 1- 35%, 2 - 38%, 3- 43%, 4- 47%, 5- 50%, 6 - 53% etc.35% is unrealistic but the point is over the 10 year spread your average expenses will be much higher than what the seller is quoting plus they want you to pay a low expense price today.

Under 300 would be pretty unrealistic but between 300-350 is possible.

However, I did not like that they took so long to get back to me (1 mos) which left me hardly any time to find a deal and also I found the parameters unrealistic for the amount of time allotted. 

However, I think it's totally unrealistic.

Would it be unrealistic to ask for a $500k line of credit tied to my portfolio? 

@Colin KanuchMain problem in Baltimore, people shoot for the unrealistic targets.

While I think it's safe to say the Federal Reserve is not going to raise interest rates tomorrow, it wouldn't be unrealistic to see it happen over the next year, and continue.

Also is it unrealistic to think that I will do all of my property management by myself when I start, and what is the highest amount of properties that you've managed at once without struggling with the work?

I feel a bit more confident now knowing that the drive would not be unrealistic should I have to make multiple trips per week.Thank you all for your comments,  they really did help and I'm very appreciative
