Paul,Welcome aboard, go to the real estate events and happenings thread and find the posts about the monthly meetings locally.  

I am looking at starting an event venue.

Further, event if the inspection came back perfect, the bidders could still use an inspection as a way out of the deal.

The young man ended up dying.The sad event made the local news and a reporter came out and interviewed a home owner who lived on the block. 

My friend is speaking at the event.

@Alex Gorges There is also a monthly informal meetup which posts in the events section of BP about each meeting.

Just do your due diligence in the event of the unthinkable and then move on to more positive thoughts!

However, many tend to use the following:Vacancy: 4-8%, Repairs/Maint:5-10%, CapEx:6-12%, Prop.Mgmt:8-11%Again, these are just ballpark percentages and may vary depending on each analysis.When it comes to future assumptions, these numbers are not necessarily needed on the acquisition side of the analysis, however it helps in the event you want to sell sometime in the future.

For instance, we use Google Sheets for tracking our assets, investor capital and event for a tape analysis, and those are available on any device that I have my Google account set up. 

In general your team should consist of an Attorney, Surveyor, Soil Analyst, Geologist, Environmental Engineer, Planner, Real Estate Agent, Developer and Builder.
