I'm sure they are out there but this is just a rule of thumb and I would rather use J Scott's approach when he analyses deals outlined in his book.You factor in your desired profit as a cost and you work backwards.

His exit value should be adjusted for those.

@Jack PasmoreWow, I truly appreciate your thoughtful response!

In his words, this is away around the due on sale clause that you can run into in a sub - to transaction.My question - if the seller puts the property in a trust, will this avoid the potential of a due on sale clause?

As a license agen, you will have a fiduciary responsibility to tell sellers what their property is actually worth.
