Each deal MUST get you arriving at a minimum of 143% appraisal for your 100% cost, otherwise you won't be able to pull out all of the money that you started with.

You can arrive at any time but from 6:00 - 6:45 PM they'll have a Q&A which is very helpful for newbies and this month there will be no special speaker and the rest of the meeting will be very interactive with a lot of participation (more Q&A, experiences from knowledgeable folks, good stories and bad, information about property valuation, etc.).

How did you arrive at your asking price to begin with?  

To go even deeper, think in terms of mixing these aspects together.You will generally mix two or more of these concepts to arrive at a solution, like the amortization and the modify the application of payments.

I usually recommend quoting all your anticipated expenses as a proportion of maximum gross rent, so if your expenses (not including your mortgage) arrive at MORE than 50% rent, that's not good to see (and, can they be reduced)? 

To the people in favor of a discount for early rent- Have you run into an issue with tenants claiming they sent the rent check in before the 1st but it didn't arrive until after?  

In email conversation with an agent about an 8 unit property, I questioned how she arrived at the ask price considering the income, expense and cap rate figures she sent me.  

Purchase price: $300 Cash invested: $1,620 Sale price: $22,000 This property is a *perfect* example of the system I am currently using:Bought the house at the end of Oct. for $1,920 all in - including taxes & property preservationHouse needed junk removal, had an abandoned MJ grow set up in the basement, and had a HOLE in the ROOF - but I did NONE OF THAT WORK :)After buying, I had to wait ~6 weeks for the deed to arrive (the county processing time) during that time I marketed the property for sale AS IS on FB Marketplace & Craigslist.

The property I had was ag, with residential use which is common.Residential  appraisals begin disallowing more than 20% in land value to arrive at a market value, secondary market isn't in the ag business or commercial arena.

I ordered the Long-Distance Real Estate investing book by David Greene but am awaiting it's arrival.
