I wonder how this works with the Hoary test.. 

I don't have a partner and the most important thing the program was able to give me was the assurance I had picked a good market, lender, teams and execute my business with an already tested system/processes.

ya the one I just mentioned to Jay Hurst was a guy who supposedly had off shore money and would get us a large line just needed to give them 500k.. big dog and pony show at wall st lawyer etc.. they even had shills for references that we called and again just did not pass the sniff test..

And even though virtually every sponsor agreement allows me to share investment information with others who might be advising me on it (especially when club members are bound by an NDA), I still ask the sponsor if I can share it, because it's a test.

So I put that theory to the test and pulled comps using Zillow.

But there seems to be a lot of sellers testing the market, listing high even with updates needed, and not many of those are interested in negotiating realistic numbers, just seeing if there are buyers still  willing to pay too much.

Depending on the construction of the building (block or stick, etc), you will want to test the connection strength.  

If the goal is still the goal and you are willing to do anything to achieve it, then test everything, don't set a path in stone that you cannot come from out of. 

I'm a member of GaREIA, they have a google group where experienced local inveztors trade tested (and mostly reliable) contractors, legal helps, strategy.   

Apparently a child tested positive for lead.
