If it's calculating ROI, for example, then I can imagine a scenario where you might need to provide an initial guess of a purchase price, and would then have to iteratively adjust the purchase price up or down to get to the exact investment return you need.

After several iterations of this strategy, I would spend the time I used to spend on a job on networking with other RE investors and learn enough about syndication to buy into an apartment complex syndication.That's what I think would do *IF* I had $500k to invest in RE.

Using systems such as Agile development and Scrum has changed our lives.

The start of this process is an iterative cart-before-the-horse, chicken-and-egg, “insert idiom”, and keeping potential investors in the loop on your process will give you a reason to stay in touch while proving your abilities and defining your value-add with investor input.2)  Partnering with experienced Bigger Pockets members is an exponential multiplier when you need to build your credentials, augment your skillset, and validate your platform with investors.3)  Your investors don’t always need to provide 100% of the purchase plus renovation cash.

What happened to me here is greatly credited to the Chicago real estate market and I’d like to re-iterate that I am grateful to have been in my place playing this game.I bought a 1-bedroom condominium in North Chicago at the beginning of 2017 and with the help of my broker and his team, I was able to find tenants within two weeks of closing on the condo.

Thanks for the input.Adam Also wanted to re-iterate something that I have been told and hear a lot.
