The exercise of tracking it regularly helps to keep it top of mind and it also allows me to see how my plans are working compared to my goals and if I need to make adjustments (I agree with @Chris Clothier that you've got a keep a long-term perspective because real estate investing, like life in general, is a marathon not a sprint).Great question, Allan!

Admittedly, finding direct comparables has been challenging due to the unique nature of our family's home, but these figures give us a good starting point.I've taken the proactive step of having a property manager conduct an inspection, and preliminary feedback suggests that the renovations required might be relatively minor, pending the final review from the contractor.

Any words of wisdom or details on what it's good at or doesn't do well, compared to other CRMs and marketing/messaging/emailing/dialing platforms?

I do not have any experience with this size syndication (this is smaller than any I have ever inspected with) which is why I was comparing it to larger syndication offerings realizing it may not be an apple to apple comparison. 

Looking at the rough numbers and we are comparing apples to apples ie: area and appreciation, I think the first is a better option because the cash on cash return from the investment cost to rent ratio.

To the east is an island that holds alot of appeal to many so the comps there do not compare to anything in the rest of the county. 

This is not to say you cannot invest in other markets, but go try and build or own a multifamily building in boston, compared to miami compared to california.

I would like to see the negative connotation that DSCR loans are more expensive and always have higher rates compared to conventional. 

Much like the BP guy who runs the syndication, compare him to some better syndications his experience is garbage.
