Cash Flow estimate while birddogging

[jgjh151]

When presenting a property to an investor, do I need to provide them with the cash flow analysis of the multi-unit?

If so, how do I find the insurance, utilities and other costs associated with them owning the multi-unit.  I have access to the other items, such as taxes and current rent amounts.

Thanks for all your help.

If you're bird dogging to get started, your investors will probably not expect you to do a cash flow analysis. Actually, every investor that I know would do their own analysis even if you prepared one for them. On the other hand, the more information you have the better you will be able to analyze the deal yourself and provide quality leads to your investors.

Most sellers will provide you with expense information, and it's important to at the very least find out which bills are paid by the owner.

Hope that helps-
