Tax assessment is pretty low for the area for some reason and that is a critical factor in realtor.com estimate.

It is always easy to criticize, but the real work is in trying solve the problem.

@Jay Hinrichs I understand your criticism of the asset class, but if you are this opposed to this asset class then why have you funded a few thousand of these properties, advised clients to invest in hundreds of them,  & why have you owned about 350 of them? 

@Bill Gulley  thanks Bill I teed it up so you could knock it out of the park.DCR is a critical number .... and because as a lender we are not really privy to the bottom line for an investor.. its the best metric we can use to decide if we want to fund a deal..I think what Marco was trying to get to .. is what will entice a buyer to buy a turn key were do I need to be on return.. and since they all confuse cap rate with rate of return on invested capital.. the numbers I hear form buyers is they want 10% or better.

I do not ask this in a critical manner, but really out of curiosity and for educational purposes.  

What this woman said is one of the most-critical things every person should stop, consider and even refrain from making any type of business decision based on almost every type of due-diligence research."

There’s a guy on here that once criticized me for doing my own work, despite the fact that I’m a contractor.

I’ve had a small stint as a business owner which started setting myself in the right direction financially, then got sucked back into the undertow of it long-term critical illness - without insurance.

I am not a fan of these investments, and have posted some critical thoughts on this niche.
