The actual numbers are VERY important and not typically found in the proforma or OM(offering memorandum) and they usually differ greatly.

Depending on your style and the local market, you may or may not feel the need to speak with the seller beforehand.I'm strictly a commercial RE guy, so I'll review the OM for a property, and perhaps call the seller's agent.

We got an email today from @Michael Quarles regarding a few emails he has gotten about being mentioned in a forum post when he clearly isn't mentioned.We need more information on this issue to correct it, so if anyone else has also experienced this, please let us know below.It would be great if you could forward the "fake" alert email to us at webmaster@biggerpockets [c][o][m] and we'll then get in touch for more information when needed.Thanks for the help in getting this little bug corrected.

And yeah you're right grocery store isn't really a good comparison.Let's break it down for real in an analogy, if houses (move om ready) were bread...The "market" is the farm.

Some of the listings have OM that provides T12 and rent roll.

These are the things I worry about when reviewing OMs tainted by gurus...If you have relationships with experienced operators who still offer investor-friendly deals, then it's the best of both worlds.

So im all ears to hear how that EXP agents om AVERAGE are operating at 400% of GCI to put them at the same income level as a Compass agent.Ive got no dog in the race.

I like your style and thoroughness om this. 

I would have to see the OM's for the individual properties and then follow up with my lenders to get feedback specifically as to what was possible.Would have to read the leases to see if double net or triple net.

Om postcards, market updates and past sales are great.
