I'm neither a lover nor a hater of JPOW, I will try to summarize fairly, and make it clear where it's my opinion/notes/observations/commentary being interjectedSome notes (my commentary in parenthesis):- The rate hikes have slowed. 0.5% instead of the "normal" 0.75%.

It looks like you've summarized the key strategies quite well.

If you want to read up on it, there are usually several charts compiled online summarizing the different laws in each state, but you'll have to check how current the chart may be. 

I would take zero business advice from his books, as mostly all he says is (I'm summarizing) save your money and make it work for you, don't be poor... well duhh!

It is not appropriate to summarize and distribute all the goodies in the book (although MikeOH more or less does that every day here on these boards).

Disagree -- first one is an introduction -- just tell the building who you are....All follow ups are then related to the market, what's going on in the building, how many active, in contract, sold since last one....Keep splicing data for them -- show them how 1 beds have increased vs 2 beds vs 3 beds vs 4+ beds --- summarize the results, e.g. more families are moving into NYC so the need for 2 and 3 bedrooms is vastly outgrowing the need for studios and 1 bedrooms.Talk about trends in the area with design/style -- new development is popping up everywhere -- everyone is using Gaggenau and Miele appliances with Corian or Quartzite countertops.

Your last post really summarized your options well.

If you need to start with single family, your goal is to hold them a short period of time so you leverage up to apartments before the homes need another rehab.It is a lot to summarize in a BP post, but I hope that gives you a feel for some of what you will learn and answer your question about why we do not spend a lot of time on Maintenance and Vacancy calculations and discussions.

You are giving us summarized information only.

If I disclosed that I was an agent purchasing for my own financial benefit and that I was receiving no commission and whatever other legal disclosures were needed, I should, theoretically, be able to use my own summarized contract provided it contains all the necessary information.
