On a tactical note, go into the call knowing about what you would pay if the property is in fair condition and practice saying those number out loud confidently (IE "Based on the information on the property I would offer 230,000 for it and cover all out of pocket expenses related to the sale.")

They could do both; however, the main key is that the rent must be "Fair rental value" (the going rate of a rental of that type in the area).Yes both can be done if you are renting for profit at market values.

What is a performance group: a group of investors who communicate regularly to share operational and planning ideas, and to act as a “board of advisors” for each of its members.How it works: Gather 5 or 6 investors who are dedicated to building their business.

I am comfortable with a fair amount of debt as well.

I think that I have not communicated as clearly as I would have liked and apologize that I did not really know how to phrase this.

If they blatantly lie about their transactional history... run.What you've described sounds like a fairly typical agent, and the listings and docs she's sent you also sound fairly typical.Your skepticism of these basics tells me you're fairly new... so I would start with more research before proceeding to buy property.

Hello everyone,I'm fairly new to investing in MF properties.

Come on......Actually, for a consultation with a good tax strategist (and I do not know this person myself) $450/hr is a fair price, and it can be even higher.

Considering I just finished doing my taxes and could see the profits on properties I had turnover in and the ones I didn't (almost double), there's definitely something to be said for keeping a long term renter happy.That being said, its really about fairness too.
