@Ted Kaasch Cap rate is a good metric but not my go to because I'm not a cash buyer.

In other words don’t worry about claiming to be a cash buyer if you can close like a cash buyer.

However, by the time the appraisal is released the buyer is typically into the property for at least a few hundred dollars.  

Great episode.Bryce talked about using an Agreement of Sale strategy, in order to hold properties from being sold or even looked at by other buyers, while he does his due diligence.

He does give a lot of actionable advice, but his sales content does need to be changed a bit based on the industry you're in and the buyer type.Re: his syndications and Reg A fund, I would only be concerned with how the assets will do in the long run, since he seems to be focused on owning the nicest property in the neighborhood.

I've got a tenant-buyer on a lease-option exit strategy for an SFR in Spokane Valley, Washington.  

In a perfect world: (in no particular order): Square/rectangular shape, 1-story, open floor plan, lower pitched roof fully trussed, slab on grade monolithic foundation, 24 o.c framing everywhere, T1-11 plyw. siding, minimal windows, minimal doors, minimal trim, minimum code electrical/HVAC/plumbing, carpet everywhere, avoid tile, laminate countertops, Home Depot cabinets, basic fixtures and appliances, no fencing, no trees or old stumps, minimize landscaping, minimize driveways and walkways, forget pavers, cleared flat lot, no fill, utility hookups available in front of house and best case they are aleady tapped, inspectors are easy to work with and pass everything the 1st time, subs show up when they need to and actually care.

My earnest money is still being held by title company and I have $$$ invested in buyer expenses. 

I told him I'd send the title company a huge wire of non refundable EM if he let me be a backup at my price in case his buyer flaked. 

I make sure my contract says, "end-buyer" pays for all closing costs.
