Most broker Pro-forma* is too ideal! It anticipates near 0% vacancy, high rents, no repair costs, little cap-ex, perfect management, etc. ONLY buy based upon present numbers!!! *Compare Pro-forma side-by-side with the T12, Rent Roll, P & L, etc. To evaluate and get estimated purchase values from Pro-forma only information do this process: Avg rent X Units X 12 = Gross Rent. Gross Rent X 0.90 [10% vacancy] = Effective Gross Rent (EGR) EGR X 0.55 (45% Expense ratio) = NOI. [If under-performing use higher vacancy and expense ratios.] NOI ÷ Market Cap Rate range** = Market value range [use upper and lower figures, higher cap rate range => more conservative property values] Market value range [same as ARV] X 0.7 - repair estimate = Maximum Acceptable Offer (MAO) - wholesale fee. **Use lower and higher cap rate range to get MAO range, point out property deficiencies [high vacancies, high expense ratio, low rents, and needed repairs] to seller, and negotiate toward lower MAO while maintaining cash-on-cash target.

Let me save you from a mistake that quietly kills deals. You finally find a deal…but it’s not a clean little apartment building. It’s: An RV park A mobile home park Some weird mixed-use setup And your first thought is: “Who the heck is going to buy this?” That’s where most people freeze. Here’s the truth: 👉 Unique deals don’t need MORE buyers… 👉 They need the RIGHT buyers. And those buyers are not on your generic list. They’re hiding in very specific places 🔍 Where to Find Buyers (That Actually Close) 1. Facebook Groups (Goldmine) 2. LinkedIn (Underrated Weapon) 3. THIS Community (Don’t Sleep on It) 4. Reddit (Yes, Seriously) 5. Targeted Email Lists The Real Lesson: Most wholesalers fail because they do this: Send niche deals to generic buyers. Pros do this match niche deals to niche buyers And when you do that? 🔥 Deals move faster 🔥 Buyers chase YOU 🔥 Spreads get bigger Want the full playbook on how to use these sources?
