I will let @Dmitriy Fomichenko confirm or deny that I am phrasing this correctly :-)Dan Dietz

So if I understand you correctly, you usually know about what you want to pay prior to seeing detailed financial info right?

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.

You are correct that 2 properties cash flowing $300/month < 1 property cash flowing $700-900.

Good that you bought it as an LLC, because it sounds like a law suit waiting to happen.If I'm reading this correctly, my recommendation would be to encourage the tenants to move, then start over with a new design, making sure to incorporate someone who knows a little about building codes. 

Okay thank you, I just want to make sure I understand correctly.

Essentially, you get contractor bids and give it to the appraiser and the appraiser goes to the home and uses the bids to see how the home would look after. 

I do not know your state laws but I do not believe that is correct.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I want to be sure I’m not misunderstanding the things I’m learning!
