This is SUPER timely as I was analyzing a cheap sample property here in Atlanta last night (to get analysis reps in) and came to the same realization.

Acquisition stage is complete, but the most challenging part of doing a 4 property cash out refi as the exit strategy has just begun.

I still recommend bumping that up some in your analysis (unless that 10% includes everything of course) because usually the base rate doesn’t include any additional services such as finding tenants (usually a months rent or half a months rent additional for that), renewing leases, managing maintenance/ repairs/ turnovers, performing inspections, evictions etc. so the PM fees actually land closer to 15-18% in my experience (our PM charges 8% base for collecting rent, dealing with tenant complaints and handling small emergeny maintenance calls, anything else is priced a la carte and I usually handle any issues over $250 myself which is the only way we make any positive cash flow).

As a newbie investor in the education phase of developing my rental business, I am looking to collect a wealth of resources to have on hand for market analysis. 

I also am actively looking for deals and analyzing them to get knowledge of the market so I know what to look for as well as get experience with the analysis side of things.

This is why Market Analysis is so important.

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to real estate investing & have been researching lately trying to understand & analyze properties better & I stumbled upon this unique listing that caught my attention in CA:
...

With your 1031 exchange a seller will want to know at what STAGE you are at in the process ( List your property for sale, your property is under contract, your property is under contract and due diligence has passed and earnest money has gone non-refundable from your buyer, your property has closed and you are in 45 day ID period already.)

You'll start by assisting other brokers, doing research, analysis, etc.

I thought about #6 but it seems time intensive in terms of researching and in due diligence etc, (unless you have any easy way Pat ) curious if you did analysis ahead or you just picked it randomly at auction, (here we need the check of exact bid amount)here in bay area, what if I get a land on mountain or on slope so more parameter to check.
