This narrative is somehow gaining traction, but is not supported by strong evidence.

@Ty Jarnagin Ty, a good business plan starts with a good pro forma that analyzes and reports financial performance on a project and stakeholder level.The business plan should be based on pro forma snapshots that support the narrative you create to tell the project’s story.The story needs to include total project cost, capital stack, how equity capital is apportioned and profit is shared between the sponsor and investors.All of the above needs to be set and referenced by time which is used to calculate partnership funding obligations and the returns generated to the project and its stakeholders.

I have quite a few houses in my neighborhood ( I live in an incorporated village) that seem to look very run down, grass is overgrown, house is basically falling apart, although some of the houses have a car in the driveway, some of them have notices on the front doors or in the yard.

I one knows if they were contractor or what.If everything can be permitted it would become a 2300sq ft 4bd/2bth.Now, I am a man that is use to stress and responsibility working management in corporate retail for years.  

I see so many investors that are incorporated but I know they do not have more than 5 full time employees.

The Management fees are incorporated into the expense multiple of 30%.

I wish I were smarter in college with finances, but I think a lot of us can agree that we don't fully realize what we are getting ourselves into until getting out of college and facing the outcome; Not to mention the lack of education in school about the real world of finances and budgets (Still do not understand why schools will not incorporate this as a foundation for getting your diploma). 

I believe Cashflow 2 actually incorporates some time value of money principles also?

What if I want to incorporate those or other niches into my brand?

I learned about this a few days ago on BP and realized I am actually down 100 a month on my rental when all of this is incorporated into my expenses.
