So now I'm beginning to consider multis and small apartments too, even though these also present their own issues. 

What drove the listing agent nuts is I told him the buyers offer required me and the buyer to present the offer directly to the seller and no information to be given prior to the presentation of the offer.

Hopefully you get a letter to present to the seller.Think like an investor always.

Hello BP Forum'ers,I haven't posted in a while -- but wanted everyone's take on a fairly common question, but with the uniqueness of my actual numbers, figures and situationGoal -- grow passive income quickly through buy and holds -- my market is Upstate NY and I presently own 7 units total spread over 3 properties (2 doubles and one 3 unit) Initial goal was to acquire 8 units/year x 5 years all netting (before income taxes, but after my debt service payments and all other expenses) $200-250/month/unit so around 10K and month in "passive" income from 40 units.

Use this information as a way of evaluating the truth about what agents will try to tell me so that I will not present a written offer.  3.

After 2 hours they come out, and are greeted with an exit poll....specifically asking if they plan on doing what was presented.  

No time like the present @Davon Lowery !

If you are doing the inspections it is critical an adult is present in the unit and that you have another person there with you for the inspection.If any claims by the tenant were ever levied you then have a witness for court.

Hi Bp  When I have a deal that I want to present to a buyer I want to make sure that I am presenting them with an accurate and informative report that will include  rental cash flow numbers.

That and the fact that many are simply dealing unethically due to the not knowing any better, they think they have to resort to weasel clauses, showing they don't deal in good faith with full disclosure, use misleading implications of having a partner when there isn't one, they take properties off the market putting owners at a disadvantage while they beat the bushes for a buyer, when they fail, the owner lost marketing time and may have incurred other expenses relying on the false implications presented.
