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 is general and not limited to flip or rental etc...
much appreciated if you can please list your main items you use and link any tools or sites that are useful to evaluate those items.
ive read thru the BP and many other resources and theres so much data its honestly a bit much, just looking for a simplified checklist and then can drill that down to learn more.
thanks!

Use the BP calculators to run your numbers. Also look at the schools, crime rates and proximity of major employersin the area.
