@Ariel Reboh if I remember correctly, the platform Portfolio Visualizer allows investors to correlate each of their assets into one large package to evaluate overall return.

That doesn't mean that all items under $2500 must be expensed, but instead should be evaluated using the purpose of the item.

During the disposition phase of our first deal, we had already identified potential buyers based on cash purchase patterns in the area and networking, but our ultimate end buyer was someone from our local REIA that was not on our list.If you have a service like Propstream, you can easily pull a list of cash buyers around your subject property over the last 90-180 days.

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

Microsoft Excel can easily do this.

You learn a lot from their body language and people much more easily hang up the phone on you than throw you out of their house. 

With the current state of the market high evaluations and low rents.

Seems like a lot of grey area that probably will be most easily clarified by local lenders, nonetheless I appreciate your insight!

@Jeremy KerrProps for stepping out of your comfort zone.To be honest, your worth in this particular deal is whatever the experienced large scale investor thinks it is (assuming you have no finder’s fee written contract in place.)Ballpark estimate in my opinion is that finding the deal might be worth 5% to 10% of the deal pending structure of the deal.If the large scale investor is a person of character and integrity, he should provide some form of compensation given your relationship with this person.My suggestion would be to not focus on the compensation per se but try to learn as much as you can from this person during the evaluation of the deal.

You need someone to find the properties for you, someone to honestly evaluate them, take pictures for you, give you an approximate rehab cost estimate, someone to do the rehab and solid property management.
