I am essentially challenging the concept of straight forward pricing of multifamily via capitalized NOI, specifically because of what you said - things change and fluctuate.

Basically I'm looking to find the cash buyers/ investors looking to spend money on a flip.

I'm in So Cal so basically I would just like to find the deal let them know about it then represent them on the purchase and list it after they are done fixing it. they make money on the deal, I make money on the purchase and listing as well as knowledge and experience. 

I'm seeing the same with HUD listings now - basically anything that is a decent value and maybe a potential fix and flip is going to O/O only.

In the REI world, that means cut your losses, take your assumed appreciation now (before the mounting losses take that away), and move into an investment that makes money from the start.You're right, I don't think much of rationalizing how tax deductions (if it was a tax credit I would have greater appreciation for it), and a paid down principal (added equity that you can't use until you sell...so it's basically a trophy).  

This concept can be applied to wholesaling.

So if you're going to do something too close to the auction, you'd have to cure the delinquency and get the property under contract at the same time, which basically amounts to a huge earnest money payment and is not something I would be interested in very often.

Thanks for posting @Mindy Jensen this concept is nothing new, but many that create LLCs don't understand the concept that you are always responsible for your own actions.

The basic reality that I don't think you've thought through is this: You are there to represent people, which means you are on their time-line, not yours.

Hello everyone,      Im just starting to get my feet wet with analyzing MFP's and was wondering if there are any sources of sample scenarios, or transactions, that can be used to get the basic understanding of how to read the numbers and what works and what doesn't work.
