We don't have a whole lot of commercial mostly SFR, duplexes, 4-plexes, but the ones we do have I'd say that's a fair assessment if they are going to take that risk on a commercial property that is say 60% vacant they would want at least a 15% return on their money.

Ideally you want to find a market that is heating up, meaning average DOM has been progressively getting lower and lower over the past few years.There are many factors you can look at, and it really depends on what type of investing you're trying to do.

I look at tax assessed value.

Received notification that a special assessment has passed (no proof of member agreement only letter from hoa management company).

If she's tough to deal with and refuses help one way or another, consider getting an expert in to assess the mold (you shouldn't have to go to this extent, if the LL is worth a pinch). 

He recommended also getting the book AND also doing their optional cram session.Personally, I tried the Coldwell Banker online course and found it to be incredibly tedious clicking through the endless series of slides and questions, and not being able to progress at your own pace (being forced to answer the same questions multiple times, etc.).

The idea fascinated me, and since then I try to keep in touch with the gentleman once in a blue moon to check on his progress.

Keep in mind this guy works a full time job as well so his progress was very slow.

I plan to update this thread once every two weeks with progress updates and goals.So my plan right now; is to save money until February to do marketing.

I'll keep everyone posted on the progress made!
