It's really only relied upon in new construction and even then I would place more value on a discounted cash flow with assumptions for time to stabilize to market occupancy.

It could be worth checking out other custodians, not just the ones with checkbook ability, because you may find that they offer the quick turn around and funding times you are looking to achieve with that checkbook ability.

Similar to Structured settlements where a company like J.G.Wenworth buys out the settlement for a fraction of what it is worth...I am looking to do the same with the interest in the property that is ultimately to be left to me.

That's how worth is defined, a tautology.

But depending on the nature of your tenant they may just opt to stop paying rent, walk,  and see if you chase after them - to which the usual answer is: it probably isn't worth it.So what we do is say, "Look - the lease says 2 months -but really we just don't want to be out any rent.  

AND it works other wise they would not keep doing it.so A true private lender is someone you personally know or have met who has money in their IRA or other cash but lending is not their business they just make a few loans a year to those close to them. 

So in theory it can't be a LTR if we move out someday, but a lease naming a tenant as "manager" probably gets around that.I've thought a bunch about how to improve the property's cash flow, and there's lots of marketing and operational low-hanging fruit before we get to capital improvements. 

That = stockpiling cash.....

If you can find someone who has TLO to do your traces its worth the money, they are incredibly accurate.

Since values have still remained strong people are still cashing out further decreasing supply.
