However, for their proformas, they use reasonable (complete) numbers from the beginning whereas, proformas from other companies maybe missing expense items or use unreasonably low numbers.

. - depending on what part of New Mexico you're looking in (and who you're buying it from), this number does sound on the cheap end, but I wouldn't say it's unreasonably cheap.

It's not unreasonable, especially if you're going to be offering less than half of list price on everything, you'd be lucky to get 1 out of 50-100 offers. .

Plus, with a purchase price of 190k, the 2% rule would dictate rent of $3800, which I think is unreasonable.

I can at least  report that The good news in America is you can literally start with nothing and become affluent  with the right knowledge and unreasonable unwillingness to give up !

Part of the problem is that everyone wants to compare this strategy to "just paying the same amount (what you would have paid to the HELOC) to the mortgage every month", but no one is really doing that, so it's an unreasonable comparison.

You either have to tolerate their underperformance  (or poor service or unreasonable pricing) on one of their two services for the sake of keeping the other - or you have to dump the entire firm and start from square one.- Yet another problem: turnover.

I like working in this business, and i don't find myself working an unreasonable amount of hours... so I guess you could say I'm as passive/active as I would like to be right now. 

Again, if you have an unreasonable owner you shouldn't be managing their property.2) Communication.

If they are unreasonably late or don’t communicate that they’ll be late – RED FLAG2.
