Analyzing RE deals - real examples

[Dan Kim]

Not sure if this is a silly question, but I'm having trouble understanding what it means when REI say that a deal has to "work for your numbers." Can someone paint me a scenario using numbers to illustrate what a good RE deal looks like? Doesn't have to be a real life deal (even better if it is).

I'd love to see a detailed breakdown including, but not limited to, financing/initial investment, NOI, cash flow, CoC return, etc. Something that looks like, I paid $x for a downpayment, took out a mortgage for x% interest for x years, spent x for rehab (if any), the NOI/CoC return/cash flow was $x/month (or per year) and this was a good deal because xyz.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!
