I always arrive a few mins before customers to make sure every light in the home is on, and blinds are set to allow more light in.Also, whatever room/feature you feel is the 'best' (watch your customers for clues here to see how they react to), make sure that when you end the tour and are ready to do your final chat/sales talk you are in that best room.

While you could apply a capitalization rate to the NOI figures to arrive at a "value", this is a bit of a short-circuit.  

The tenant's response was that she is in Seattle on a work trip and she mailed a check from there (obviously not in time to arrive before the 5th) and because of this, is asking me to waive any late fees.  

Cole Black As long as you can show the listing agent qualified math on how you arrived at your offer price, it is what it is.

And when I arrive today, and questioned them about how everything seems to be working, they (mother, 2 grown daughters, 1 grandchild) were just like "we want a new stove"

The new business venture will not be completed until the end of 2018 which gives me time to build up my ability to acquire more homes before the immediate need arrives.

People are on vacation, they are having fun, they aren't thinking about the neighbor who has to get up to work the next morning, or the senior who want's to hear the birds in the morning, not a basketball at 7am or the crew arriving home at midnight.   

Here's are my notes so far:Duke Park & Trinity Park - Seems like these neighborhoods have already "arrived".

On a side note, I do recommend that you find a loan servicer in your area - they will manage collecting your payments and ensure they get to the seller (so there is never a question of payments arriving on time).

As soon as you start saying "suppose at some future point in time, we have the scenario wherein..." they will just shut down and tell you to call back in a few years when that future point in time arrives.
