Also remember that in a park usually the tenant you pick will have to pass the park's requirements as well, so find out what those are before you start your screening.

Usually when building capital, it is a combination of steady savings and some other unplanned/unexpected financial windfall that we use for investing rather than a new big screen or whatever the average person does with it.

The screens are not intuitive and Buildium does not define their data points well so it is very difficult to move data from another software because so many of the data points are ill defined.

Now you can choose more efficient LED, CFL, Halogen lighting and LED TV's and monitors.

My Brothers own several Retail "As Seen On TV" Store.

I am wondering if there are any real estate tv shows that I could watch and learn from.

Do you really want your tenant, whom you've screened, to have a constant turnover of new people [who he doesn't know?]

I'm afraid they are overpaying in the first place, underestimating their repair costs and overestimating the ARV.I'm afraid they have been sold a dream by a guru or a TV show and are not running the numbers, and not leaving contingencies in their plans.I think what you've done is awesome.Thank you.

If you have them you can trap them with some education.Not sure how much a professional treatment costs but the big boys that advertise on TV are very very expensive.

They are useful for quick screening, but far less so for purchase decisions.Ray Alcorn has an article on deriving YOUR capitalization rate.
