If you catch my drift. 

It’s a catch 22.

The above path of just starting as an LO puts sales first, and you will be playing catch up with the operational competence and knowledge. 

Wondering if this is common among all companies or just mine and if I should jump ship * main office is a mess, boxes and papers everywhere, tables stacked high with papers etc, a tile is missing in the ceiling * it’s section 42 with lots of compliance, no one knows where anyone’s file is, a residents file might be at a different property and no one knows, etc, at the property they put me at they are behind by 40 recertifications and it’s my job to catch up until they hire someone * property managers work offsite at the main office, making it challenging to meet with tenants (fortunately I am onsite)* no one has given me much direction/training on how to do the section 42 recertifications so I’m winging it.

Good catch.

This is not just a question of looking at comparable sold homes, it includes evaluating current pending and active homes  so you can catch trends as they are happening, and also understanding seasonal market trends so that you don't price on the higher side in June/July when you may be at the tail end of a rising spring market, or under-price in February because you're looking at comps that sold in December and January, etc.And it includes understanding the home features that are going to add or detract value compared to the comps, i.e. great house but unusually small master bedroom/or backs to busy street/or missing that one extra rec room or flex space that will keep 3 or 4 people from piling up on each other. 

This entire reserve will be released on your 2018 tax return, allowing you to catch up with all past losses, including all depreciation.This lump-sum old loss will be netted against your gain which includes depreciation recapture.

@Dave Foster is one that comes to mind but there are many many others so you'll definitely wanna get those alerts setup.Good luck to you & I'll catch you around the forums.

Once they get behind it is hard for them to catch up. 

A non rehabbed property may perform ok in the beginning until deferred maintenance and CAP EX starts catching up.
