My eta is to have a team within 6 months and purchase my first property within a year.

Hello, just wondering if anybody would be willing to share their preferred websites to analyze markets for things such as yearly appreciation rates, rent appreciation, days on market, etc.

We fought with Quickbooks for years.

The old saying “it’s a numbers game” real;y applies here.  

Even if you are not an expert electrician after a Summer or a year of weekends and holidays, you will know more than most and perhaps be able to do your own minor repairs and know where people you hire in the future cut corners and you will learn appropriate pricing.4. 

And, even if you could find an appraiser to do an evaluation, it's not clear how that would help you.As you state, the motel has been shut down for nearly three years, so there's no current financial data.But even if you had recent numbers, you're planning to operate it as a sober living facility, which I suspect is a very different business model.You need to find a comparable facility in or near your local market and develop your own customized financial analysis model based upon this particular property.Then, given your business objectives (cash flow and cash-on-cash return, I assume), you'll need to back into what purchase terms you'll need to achieve those objectives.Only then will you be able to determine whether these seller financing terms will work.As far as documentation to get started, a letter of intent (LOI) is commonly used but you might move straight to a purchase and sale agreement, particularly if no agent is involved.Whichever path you choose, just be certain to give yourself plenty of time to thoroughly perform your due-diligence.

I was reading a report and an "expert" was predicting 1.5 next year.

I've had great success this year by purchasing the company (LLC or Corporation) that holds the property rather than buying the property directly.

You can double your money in one year if your property appreciates only 5%. 

Over a 2 year lease that's almost $15k which is pretty significant.
