I think that I'm over-analyzing potential purchases.

I use the following: Crimereports, HCAD, FEMA's Flood Education Mapping Tool, Google Maps, (Zillow, Trulia, or Redfin), Rentometer, BRRRR calc. How long does it take you all to analyze a property and when is it overkill? I feel like it takes me too long to check yes or no on listings even after narrowing it down to my purchase price.

When you start analyzing using numbers with $ in front, then you are analyzing.  What you're doing is painting pictures, using freeform.  You have a lot of paint on your canvas, but when you look at the picture, you have no idea what you painted.
