Analyzing my first deal!
Hey BP! Just walked through my very first property as s potential first deal! It is however, a bit different. I do like it because it was a single family home but it is laid out as a perfect multi-family. A kitchen, two bedrooms and a bath identically laid out on both floors. It even has potential living space above a detached two car garage.
Anyway... What is the best guide for analyzing my first property?
What red flags would there with this if any??
What is the best way to figure out if the asking price is even close to being reasonable?
I am also just looking for other general advice in analyzing my first property. It is in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, Portsmouth to be specific.
Thank you all in advance for your continued support!!

@Tim Kelly, welcome to BP. I am still relatively new at this also so the best advise I can give is to read everything you can on this site using key search words "multi-family", "rental", "cash flow" and "analyze rentals", etc.
Check out the Analyze drop down menu above for other tools.
Below are some hopefully helpful links:
