That dead equity for some reason is mentally killing me..  

Hello everyone - wanted some help fleshing out my thoughts on this deal analysis for a fourplex in Utah.

This is the sort of thing that, over the years, has helped me realize that my former "everyday-man stance" about property self-management, my certainty that any reasonable person could do it, has always been dead wrong.I just wish we could run every operator like this out of business.

Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goalsMany investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast - either of these behavior will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals.

Seller financing has been dead in most markets for the last 4 or 5 years.

And if you don't want to wait, find the owner's phone number, which can be a dead end.

So will you drop over dead right away?

We had vendors coming after hours, working until 9 PM to finish work (at no premium/extra charge), got the pest control crew out to clean up the ant situation 24 hours prior to our first guest arriving, had our cleaner obsessively coming by to sweep up dead ants, just an absolute sprint and roller coaster of emotions to the finish line.But those first booked felt so good!
