I am trying to see if the numbers I am using are similar.

They see each property personally and I won't do deals any other way if I am using someone else's money.

I am using my CPA to provide tax and accounting support services to real estate investors.

Also, if you are looking for a lawyer that is very saavy in investing out of your IRA, I am using one in OH that one of the REIA coaches referred me to.

Both Reonomy and Costar have the ability toPull lists of Recent Sales to find buyersPull lists of properties with loans coming dueI am using Reonomy to:Find lists of property owners "likely to sell"I am using Costar to:Obtain city market reports (based on Sales, Economy, Supply & Demand Trends, Vacancy & Rent, Deliveries & Properties Under Construction)Run property valuations with for sale comps and lease compsSearch properties with +15% vacancy and 1-2 star ratingsPull withdrawn and expired Costar listingsI think Costar has more accurate data of ownership and contact information

But as for the letters themselves I am using a hand written font from dafont dot com and text boxes to place the text on the margins of yellow legal pad paper.

I am US citizen and can co-sign.

I am using a VA loan with no money down.

It is an 18-plex in a town 15K people with a very high rent to owner occupied ratio (renter being on the high side).Property is on MLS listed at $749,000Deal Summary:18 units x $500 per unit = 9,000 gross monthly/108,000 yearlyVacancy factor I am using is = 5%Total Operating Income = 8,550 GM/ 102,600 yearlyTotal Operating Expenses = 4,412 monthly/52,950 yearlyAs a percentage of Income 51%NOI = 4,137 monthly / 49,650 yearlyIn my analysis to calculate what I should be paying I am taking the NOI / my expected CAP RATE, which in this case would be 49,650/.10 = $496,500In this back of the envelop math I view my max offer price (on the assumption that I have good data on both the rents and expenses side) as $496,500 to achieve a 10% CapRate.I would really appreciate feedback as to if I am on the right track or I have totally missed something here.ThanksRob

I only plan to rent the lots, which I would assume is similar to SFHs, which I am used to.
