Will be showing some clients from Nebraska homes in Divide and Florissant tomorrow actually. 

Ask about if leases are month to month or annual and when they end, If they don't want to tell you their rents - assume them for them at a lower range and they'll correct you with what they do get in rents.Tell them your offer and if they're interested - scheduled to meet with them or leave them with your contact info through text so you can work an actual offer from there. 

I actually do know what I'm doing. 

Just closed on a 2 unit fixer upper in Orange County (actually hoarder house) complete with noncooperative tenant. 

Or from the actual 10/15 year loan?

Plus, you'll actually make money, which is the whole point after all.  

There is a carriage house exception but that has to actually be an old carriage house for horses, and from what I understand this rarely applies.

And it's actually pretty flexible (other than some timing and documentation issues).  

If you do not run numbers, you are shooting from the hip and your strategy is either fueled by "hope-ium", or your experience is so immense you know every input and return without running the numbers (but even the most experienced investors run their numbers).Here's the best advice I can give you: You can "run the numbers" until you are purple in the face, and you will never know what every single ACTUAL number is going to be before getting into a deal.

@Monica C.I've invested in a little more than 10 separate syndications with about as many different leads.The one thing I appreciate the most is those asset manager who are willing to send out monthly charts of actual vs pro-forma income and expenses.That's not to say that they are always within budget, because they usually aren't, but they at least show a level of honesty and accountability as well as showing progress.I'm invested in some deals that publish very few KPIs if any at all.
