I am an Executive in a life sciences company which takes the majority of my time and I have no intention of stopping that, but want to build a larger rental portfolio to have other financial / lifestyle options in 10 years. 

You need a real time picture so that you can make decisions based on the facts - not fiction. 

I'm excited to bring my knowledge to my current and future clients.I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Accounting from Coastal Carolina University and I'm also a Certified QBO ProAdvisor. 

The seller has created a fictional pro forma to justify an inflated price.

I’m a college student at LSU majoring in computer science.

Quote from @Melanja K Jones: Beware of Norada and their recommendations.I live in Southern California and bought an investment house in the midwest through their recommendations.Several takeaways-1. the ProFormas are complete fiction, listing only 5-10 percent for vacancy and repairs and on the flip side, steady growth on appreciation and rent increases.

It’s a bit of a blend between an art and a science, and your accuracy will depend on how experienced you are maintaining properties.

Together this is social media fiction, not real estate investing.

It's not rocket science.
