Hey Noah, don't believe he's on Bigger Pockets, but my realtor is Cam Walker with Oakwyn Realty and I'd highly recommend going with him.  

CAM cost and deferred  maintenance, AND if utilities are separated, parking spots, landscaping and snow removal, sprinkler system and elevator (maybe)OR see if ordinances changed and make sure things are grandfathered in ;p

No excuses for shaky cams.

With the above leases you will be looking at completing annual CAM (common area maintenance) reconciliation based on your actual expenses vs. what you received from tenants over the year based on your budget estimates.

I'm interested enough in his more expensive classes that we have revolved our lives around taking care of our bad debt and saving for these classes.More than the lessons from said classes, I am interested in the software that they will provide you.  

Specifically,, "My biggest regrets as an investor revolve around every property I've ever sold."

------Here is an example of my Return spreadsheet: it may be wrong but it works for me:6 units commercial ( I use same calc for my single and multi) Semi Triple Net:Current    PotentialTotal Gross Rent/mo      $8,800     $14,3000 ( 50% vacancy when I bought it)Total GAI    $105,600      $171,600 Taxes         $23,000        $30,000  (I assume reassessment, I just bought this)      Ins         $ 4,000          $ 4,000 Financing    $48,000         $48,000  ( shouldn't be here, but it works for me)_________________________________NOI              $30,600         $96,600    RETURN          3%                 9%        (Purchase price + Capex dollar= $1.155M)This one is Triple Net, so I don't have Utilities/operating expense in here, my tenants pay, I do have house stuff, but that is calc in a different CAM spreadsheet sheet.  

I'm using the The Property Buying Process as of right now as a guide from the Ultimate Beginners Guide So I am on step three and cam along a question about financing the deal(s) What does everyone think about using a line of credit or home equity.
