Seeking knowledge: How-To for "crunching the numbers"?

[Jeffrey Kingman]

Hi all - we are just starting out and curious if anyone might know of templates, blogposts, books, or other educational content we can use to learn how to "crunch the numbers" on property investing (for different scenarios; i.e., for STR, for MTR, for LTR, etc., etc.)

Many many thanks and Happy New Year.

I would start by learning how to analyze for LTR and then expand to STR or MTR once you have done a few. Here's a good blog post on how to analyze a property for LTR by Brandon Turner. Chapter 5 of his book, "The Book on Rental Property Investing," is about how to analyze a property. Some of the webinars that BiggerPockets offers often touch to greater or lesser degree on analyzing deals -- you might try attending this one.
