I've worked with a couple financial planners in the past and neither seemed to be capable of doing more thorough analysis than I was given ~20 hours of work in Excel, so I'm looking for someone who can demonstrate to me quantitatively that their analysis is correct given whatever assumptions their modeling takes into account.Background:I currently own 5 properties, 14 units in Minneapolis/St.

I just took my brokers through them and they are excellent. 

It's a large 10 bedroom duplex, cash flows are excellent and ROI is excellent as well.My Plan:  Currently I am taking time off work to get my MBA.  

Banks can usually lock a rate for 60-90 days for fixed-rate loan products, but can create other issues for borrowers by requiring depository relationships and ongoing covenants for property performance. 

For numbers, I like to use BP calculators, my own, simplified excel calculator, and then a good reality check to make sure awesome numbers (or not so awesome numbers) make sense for the area.

Excellent ...It's all happening!
