For every ONE PERCENT that cap rates move against BAM they have to improve NOI by $6,000,000 just to BREAK EVEN on the property value.

All I will say about coaching is to do your research.I decided to break down different programs that I have purchased or did not purchase & why.

If door knob break (giving a simple example), Doorvest will charge me the price of door knob + contractor fees (Doorvest will not collect additional fees for themselves).

I ended up having about 10 abandoned vehicles / RV's (some looked like meth labs...think Breaking Bad).What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

They also extort their tenants with fees, break payment contracts, judges orders and their accounting department competency is questionable.

Not to get too into the weeds, when you are face to face with someone, you can watch for mannerisms and non-verbal body language. 

I read this last night from “The Book on Rental Property Investing” by Brandon Turner: Break even on cash flow or lose money on cash flow, and you are on a path to financial ruin.I’ll repeat myself one last time: Buy rental properties that offer cash flow today.I’m interested to know whether experienced investors Agree/disagree and why? 

Real- Estate  is a lot tougher game now because of technology now allowing buyers, sellers to access the market using the internet without using agents but  you do have hot areas that can support  more bodies .

Doing it that way also allows you to get a general idea of how much income is needed to at least be close to breaking even. obviously being close to the break even line is not where anyone wants to be but it is interesting and useful metric.
