True-up to estimates on rental analysis

[Brian Leon]

Hi Everyone! I know everyone on the forums for he most part is baking in certain assumptions to their estimates such as repairs, capex, etc. to calculate their return on investment and expected cash flow. Is anyone going back to their deals after a few years to do a retrospective review of their investment to see what their actual returns and outflows are vs what you originally estimated? This is clearly specific facts and circumstances based but I’m curious to know whether based on historical returns you would have decided on a go vs. no go on a property when you were on the fence due to these variable assumptions such as repairs and capex and your historical experience is tipping toward a lower % than the assumptions being used when analyzing.
