First shot at market analysis. How did I do and what am I missing?

David C Heiling

Hello, everyone! :)

Very much just starting out! Listened to some podcast episodes, read some content, and tried to do a small market analysis with some examples. If anyone has a few minutes, I'm specifically looking for any metrics I missed that are important, maybe some guidance in terms of what to prioritize here or elsewhere, and just some overall thoughts on if these properties, in theory, could do well.

Please note, that I primarily am looking for cash flow in this example! Cheers:
