Jesse, My experience on SFR is that the appraiser will comp based on what is physically there, and working.Before you go "yay!"

Short of the pm company taking the money out of their pockets or threatening physical abuse I don't think they can force anyone to pay, especially if the person lost their job.

My background and day job are both related to construction and energy efficiency, so I incorporate that in every real estate project as well.  

(have one more as a backup if need be and make sure you ask them how much your closing fees will be so you can incorporate that in your wholesale fee) b) List of cash buyers (15 minimum) with a bio for each buyer.

I no longer supply my home address for them to mail checks or alternate payments. trying to simplify rent collection and eliminate need to physically be present to collect or deposit rent checks...

EV shows how much current rents are below the market combined with physical vacancyThen calculate your value as NOI/Exit Cap Rate (whatever you think cap rate will be when you sell)Then subtract rehab (get this from a PM or use an assumption) and your anticipated capital gain.The result is you maximum offer.

Form a LLC and incorporate them in the process?  

The first time we went to see the property we couldn't get into the one unit because the key was missing, so we were not able to physically measure. 

The broker will still have responsibility for the office and ownership of the transactions/liability/accounting of funds, but that can all be addressed in the articles of incorporation.
