Two months passed, no mails arrive.

They built them both ways depending on material costs, and at that time wood and metal were flip flopping in cost so you'd see trucks of either one arriving on different weeks to the job sites.

If you get into the habit of having a scope of work prepared for the contractor before they arrive they will only have to put in a fraction of the time to generate a quote for you. 

Most new tenants will arrive from within 3 miles.Consider what the demographic already looks like.

Company like Flocks or arrived homes are smart enough that for their class A purchase out of midwest, is giving only 3% back to investors.

I've also heard that mortgage company will look at what market rents are and take a view on that, rather than literally multiplying rent x cap rate to arrive at a valuation.

I tried Home Depot, but it is going to take over a month for them to arrive.....is that typical?  

If there's a great cap-rate on loopnet is probably arrived at through projected pro-formas rather than by using actuals.

It was less than a week from their arrival and the subsequent laughter from co-workers at the fact that I had the audacity to call myself a real estate investor that these cards paid dividends on the $15 Vistaprint investment.
