How many deals do you scan before you lock in on a property?

[Eyal Goren]

I'm starting to scan for my first property and trying to understand the process. Zillow -> analyze -> offer -> repeat.

After how many properties that you scanned you feel like you're comfortable making an offer?

This is a good question.  I'm starting to learn that the more refined my property criteria, the fewer properties I need to look at.  If I know the specific neighborhoods, age, bedroom/baths, condition of the properties that I want to purchase, then my pool of homes is already filtered down.  Then I can just run numbers on the much smaller set of properties that match my criteria.  If the numbers are reasonable for my particular strategy, then I contact my agent to put in an offer.
