Top 3 Favorite Analysis Techniques

Hi all, 

I am writing this post to get everyones top three methods to quickly analyze a property. Weather it be the standard 1%, 70% rules or something unique that you have come up with. I think it would be fun and interesting to see how many different ways people do there analysis. It will also show how people can be just as successful no matter what way they analyze. 

I'll go first. 

1. 1% rule (easy and so efficient)

2. Estimated Pro-Forma (based on market data of similar houses in the same area)

3. 70% rule 

Cheers, 

-Dylan Mathias

@Dylan Mathias • 1% Rule - Quick, easy, usually the first test it needs to pass. • ARV compared to asking price - If there‘s a lot of room for appreciation I‘ll look deeper at the deal. • Pro-Forma - Worst house on the street scenario. What potential does it have. - MIke
