Hi everyoneI've been hard at work building a robust automated real estate system integrated with my marketing in infusionsoft for my business and I'm finally super close to being finished.

I mean, I could think of 10 factors to come in play.

This means the property needs to return $25k per year over the next 10 years in order to be equivalent to the first model.Moving from this simplified model to your real life situation, here are some complicating factors:1.

Property management will be one of the biggest factors to your success. 

It’s a no-brainer, especially when you factor in the money you’re throwing away each month in rent, and it’s definitely possible in the LA area.

I am trying to purchase off of the MLS - and I will add that just having integrity and following up will put you way ahead - so many of the agents I talk to want me to buy their listing and they will not find out about any other listings I am interested in, and once I show a preference to a different listing they disappear - I dont know if this is the way it has become and granted I am looking in the low budget area that is not going to give them a great commission - but according to what I have read, it is not what the realtor is supposed to do.any realtor tips & comments on how I might get more cooperation appreciated.

Don't forget to factor your depreciation on those machines for taxes.

I think by the time you take all those factors into account like you are they will make any deal look like it wont cash flow.   

vlad, I would think you could dissect the comps more: square footage, locations, amenities and make some adjustments to get a ball park number .they may have been all over, but may help you make the "reasonable offer" if you can study them some and maybe get what  duplexes are going for on a sq foot basis in the vicinity, a factor which may still work in your favor as you will be newer and probably better conditon with a new/newer build...

Any suggestions on important factors to consider in hiring these individuals?
