So... some investments, like ITC 3468 projects can have not ideal numbers before tax and great numbers after tax.

But so far so good, I'd say things have unfolded at about 80-90% of ideal expectations, which would be in line with my realistic expectations. 

Of course, ideally I'd like get any unit I can rented as fast as possible. 

The reason that an auto lender has a different FICO credit score than a mortgage lender which is different from a credit card issuer is that they use different versions of the FICO score.

Strongly recommend Cozy.co for free auto transactions.

I have had roommates my entire adult life, and while not the ideal circumstance, is just fine with me.

@Manuel Savorelli I have the understanding that its 30 days that all inquiries of a similar nature (ie auto or mortgage) are bundled together for scoring purposes as to encourage rate shopping.

It'll also help you scale up to more properties too since you'll be able to focus your time on finding new properties and then you can just put them on auto-pilot w/ your mgmt company and then spend your time managing the company itself.

State Farm is ranked #1 in auto, home, and life.
