before making 1st purchase What 5-10 MAIN stats to know about a prop and if its a good buy.
whats your first steps to deciding a property is worth buying?
i know theres different goals when making a purchase so not limited to flip or rental etc...
much appreciated if you can please list your main items you look at and link any tools or sites that are useful to evaluate those items
ive read thru the BP and many other resources and so much data its honestly a bit much just looking for a simplified checklist and then can drill that down to learn more.
thanks!
