They obviously get it as a whole, but still may have a hard time working within YOUR model if that differs at all from theirs.When it comes to finding agents to sell your properties, I say you find the office that has the most closed deals in the proceeding 3 months and give them a call.

To help me decide which track I want to do (ibanking or go straight into a hands on real estate career) I have been forecasting some earnings projections.

And most are the model you described but some (myself included) have done syndicated deals where we look to buy and hold for the long term.

You first forecast the future value of the replacement based on inflation and expected remaining life of the asset.

She's helped others get their license when they were out of state and shorted the curve so she might be able to help you know the plan.When you get back to OKC, you might consider Spearhead Realty to place your license since we are investor friendly and have a different model then most brokerages (ie transaction vs commission splits).

At least when the correction finally occurs, it will be less drastic down east as valuations are not hyper-inflated.When we analyse a prospective property - or as we update the actuals and projections on properties we hold - we typically model both w/ and w/o appreciation.  

Without inflation adjustments, and dividend reinvestment enabled, the annual S&P 500 return from 1995 to 2015 has been about 8.6%, so, in this very specific, simplistic, model, it seems to come out better.Naturally there's way more factors that play in - love to see folks poke holes in this and tell me where I went wrong, and what guesses/assumptions I missed calling out!

That's going to be a perfect fit with your biz model of rehabs.

I don't know how to forecast rental rates.If there is anyone with similar goals who would like to discuss ideas, I'd be very open to it.Thanks,Aaron

@Nathan Weaver also look up/google Mitch Stephen as this is his business model too.
