I wanted to take this opportunity to express my most sincere thanks and appreciation to my entire CRE family, and specifically @David Johnstone and @Oliver Chamberlin . As you all have seen, I attempt to create humorous posts while actually asking for serious help and these gentlemen volunteered and have been more than gracious with their time and expertise. It's (almost) hard to believe that in an environment where everyone is looking to create their own wealth, that there are people (this group) who do not hold back their time, their knowledge, and their advice in an effort to assist others. I have been in the group for exactly 63 days, and my head is exploding with all of the things I've learned and am now putting into practice, and I am definitely thankful, grateful, and blessed to be here, at this time, with my 'Family' on this journey. You have not only made this easier, but you have also made the learning fun. So, to @Paul Thompson , and @Peter Conti , thank you for assembling us here under our umbrella, and to the rest of the family, know that I appreciate your advice in support as we make this profitable journey together.

It’s that day of the week again SUNDAY. A perfect time to slow down and strategize how to speed up! This week, my focus is simple: ● Attract better leads ● Convert more sales ● Scale with smarter systems not just more work I have mapped out 3 actions: 1. Doubling down on content that educates and builds trust. 2. Testing one new outreach method daily (DMs, emails, comments). 3. Reviewing my client experience because referrals come from results! Question to YOU: What’s one thing you're doing this week to grow your business or boost sales?

Good Afternoon everybody! Where do I start?

Most broker Pro-forma* (and Seller declarations of income and expenses) is too ideal! It anticipates near 0% vacancy, higher than received rents, no repair costs needed, little cap-ex reserves, perfect low cost management, etc. ONLY buy based upon present numbers!!! [*Compare Pro-forma/projections and Seller's declarations of income and expenses side-by-side with the Trailing Twelve Months (T12**), current Rent Roll with all Current Leases, last two years of P & L statements, Seller's business plan for the property (optional), last two Years Tax Returns (optional), Bank statements (optional), List of repairs made in the last two years, Utility Bills, Insurance History, Service Contracts, Inspection Reports or maintenance records, roof inspection, well, sewer, building(s) and system(s), any Surveys, Environmental, and Earthquake Reports, Special Tax Assessments, Easements, Property Survey (Optional). **A T12 is a financial statement that summarizes a property's income and expenses over the previous 12 months]
