Or, I might contact the owners myself, and the deal I know are looking to list- I will feed to a broker, again with the understanding they will feed me leads the other direction.

Thanks for any and all feed back.

I am curious as to why anyone on this feed hasn't suggested going outside his market to Ohio or Indiana?

The problem for him and many others when that 1st pmt came due and you had to feed the alligator.

If you are valuating SFR's focus on  other long-term plays like debt pay-down, equity, and tax benefits...Not discouraging your valuation..practice helps...but your vacancy loss is pre-determined as a component of GOI...it's not an operating expense...and capital expenditures are what they are...again, not an operating expense (and 15% may be excessive...).PM me or feed me a couple of your property addresses and financials and I'd be glad to help you sort these out. 

If you agree on a price, and its not a phiranna feeding frency, you get it for a fair price, transfer the servicing, and have the collateral files sent to a company that scrubs them for defects, records anything that needs recording, creates anything missing, and stores them for you. 

And they do exist, people will tell you which agent to stay away from but they won't tell you about the agent that keeps feeding them deals and was able to get them 15k over asking. 

Thank you all for your valuable feed back.

This should be a feeding frenzy for cash buyers. 

See if you can get a Realtor to put you on an auto feed for a few zip codes in your desired area for the comps.As for repairs you'd wanna have contractors come and give you bids.
