If you can develop a relationship with a local probate/estate attorney that could be worth its weight in gold.

On a rental property should i put much weight on the resale value?  

I come up with:NOI  $6,629CF  $3,281Cap Rate  10.0%COC  19.3%Total Return $8,371Total ROI  49.2%  I realize that the ROI is primarily due to the rapid increase in the value of the property, so assuming a 2% increase brings the total ROI to 31.7%.Have I got this right?  

If the property will cash flow, you may maximize your returns and more rapidly build your portfolio by moving into your next property.

GroupDoes anybody have a weighted scoring model spreadsheet for evaluating SFH?  

A stronger American dollar has hurt foreign investment (says most new luxury buyers are Americans, over the Chinese/Russian/Brazilian majority from a couple years ago), developments that used to pre-sell are not doing so as rapidly, and you have a lot coming on line Downtown, LIC, Downtown BK, and in Midtown.

I have alot of weight on my shoulders as i am new at this company and my role is to find deals, off market deals in particular.

I sold some of my first purchases and took equity gain and moved to better neighborhoods -- Now I have quit a job that I had no intention of leaving when I first started investing... the growth took on a life of its own and now, looking back, I wouldn't be in the position I am in today had I not made those marginal purchases to get the ball rolling...You mention that money isn't really a problem for you like it is for others - Maybe relax your numbers a bit to get started --- go out and do what is takes to acquire some property and let a few houses start carrying a bit of weight --- they may not do much in the beginning, but as TIME works its magic, you will be surprised by the outcome.Good Luckjeff 

When the cops arrive and see multiple families awake and complaining, it will carry more weight.

Where I work you would become a repeat offender, and fines would be steeper and accelerate at a more rapid pace.
