If they're motivated they'll answer any questions necessary...plain and simple.  

Hi Everyone:My partners and I are interested to invest in White Plains NY.

Thanks for the plain talk.

., get a realtor and / or a lawyer, plain and simple.

I presented the seller with the actual numbers and what the price would have to be to achieve the 8% cap rate and the seller had no clue how what the property was actually bringing in (despite it being plainly visible on the schedule E). 

The rest is up to just plain common sense and "Trial and error". 

I always like to err on the side of caution so let's say that you realize after a few months that this tenant is just plain horrible and is an overall headache to you... chances are you'll regret signing a 2-4 year lease because you'll not want to keep them for more than a year and I would assume that it would probably be harder for you to terminate the contract.  

Is it in a flood plain?

That is just plain dishonorable.

Next up is just plain crazy to be followed by normal....then below normal and crazy low.
