how do i know what my cash flow is goin to be?Can U analyze this?
i know loopnet isnt going to have any good deals, im just using it to practice analyzing properties.
Once i find out the Income and expenses, i get the NOI by using the 50% rule.
Next i get the cap rate right? So this property that im looking at, has a NOI of 320k. I now need to divide 320k by my mortgage. But i dont have a mortgage and i dont know how i am going to fund the deal. So how would i figure out my cap rate?

Don't take this the wrong way, but you need to read...at least the basics first, before you shotgun a bunch of questions. I'm willing to help, @Jordan Moorhead is willing to help and so is the majority of the BP community but you need to take some time first to educate yourself. Read this https://www.propertymetrics.com/blog/2013/06/03/ca... and this https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/134... and really any commercial real estate book, podcast, site out there.
At a minimum, memorize the formula:
Cap Rate = NOI/Value
or expressed another way
NOI/Cap Rate = Value
Practice this, analyze properties and confuse yourself first...you will learn the most this way. And then ask questions to understand the fine points.
Again, not trying to be a jerk but you will get a lot further this way. Good Luck!
