Give a few a call and meet if they have a free consult.Explain your business model and if they shoot you down then NEXT!  

There's a decent thread on it here if you have some Excel experience: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/61463....Of course you can use pre-built Excel models like @Joel Owens said, but you should still understand IRRs so you can answer your investor's questions.

Hi Nick,To answer that question you have to look at your own business model and tolerance for risk and self insurance. 

I would rather go with a buy and hold model but I am not for sure.

I've been on Excel trying to find a model for valuing my LLC if I were to do syndication deals.

If they can't deliver, I get the impression that I can walk away and find a non REO deal.  

(have you modeled everything in your IRR analysis)1031 exchanges can be really tricky if you haven't done them before and have good access to new projects. you could even be forced to take on unprofitable projects to meet 1031 deadline and not risk your money AS ALWAYS.

Take the model number of what they wanted to install and go to a regular plumber for a quote to buy and install it, not a "water softening company".

During that time period almost no one came up with the cash, so these should pretty much all be loan mods (though some will be tagged in error as it is hard to get this particular type of data model perfect).

I would appreciate some collective thoughts concerning my proposed business model.
