With that in mind, I would seek out experienced investors in your area to ask them.

Hello,I am a project manager for a full service builder here in the Phoenix metro area.

Would love to connect and see your buy box and add value to you by bringing good projects in that area or anywhere else you have in mind.

Do you see similar trends in your area?

There are a bunch of mentors/coaches.

I agree with Colin, everyone's circumstances are a little different and while I would take feedback from non-CPA I would only trust a CPA with questions that are that delicate.

Once you analyze and view multiple properties in an area, you start to see what is typical and what you are looking for.

While I overall agree with you, there is a case to be made that premiums will start to normalize:Namely, major insurers pulling out of the high risk areas like FL and CA are limiting their catastrophic events.  

The searches in my area typically run 2-3 days behind the actual listings which can make or break a deal sometimes.

-Lastly, ask for the investment or seek confirmation of their current or future investment, bringing the conversation to a decisive point.You should be well versed with the details of the deal before talking to investors:● Understand the average median income in the area.● Be aware of the average rents in the market.● Familiarize yourself with comparable properties (comps).● Understand what needs to be done in terms of improvements or renovations.● Be knowledgeable about the internal rate of return (IRR) for the investment.● Determine the anticipated holding term for the property.● Know the initial capitalization rate (going-in cap).● Project the exit capitalization rate (exit cap).When facing objections while raising capital, it's important to dig deeper to understand the true underlying concerns.
