I am looking at doing my first commercial real estate deal and I'm wondering if it is common to put a risk factor, based on vacancies, when evaluating the purchase price.

@Chris UtterI used to hand them out but I stopped because people would just usually log my number in their phone.

Also, you can log in to your account (via the web or our app) anytime to see who's paid, who hasn't, and any outstanding balances.To add more detail to how we handle resident interactions, our goal is to resolve all of those without you having to be involved.

I literally just logged into BP a few hours ago looking for this post and posts like it...

My question is directed at the lenders here on BP.I understand we've learned the lessons of liars, high LTV, and ARM loans and have retrenched to a more sane and traditional lending practices, but, with the continued decline in home values, how do you evaluate even an 80% conventional loan on a property, knowing further decline is likely to erase some or all of the equity the buyer brings to the table?

Evaluating ALL expenses is critical.

But then if you realistically evaluate the expenses (see the 50% rule discussions in the rental property forum), you may find the return is too low for your liking.

I can't log in on the app on my phone.

Intent is evaluated on a property by property basis.

After I purchased my duplex, my insurance company sent an agent to evaluate the replacement cost of the property.
