I've recently gotten a great interest in real estate. I want to start analyzing several deals a day so that I can start getting used to the numbers and be able to see what looks like a decent deal right off. What methods do you all have?

I have an app that finds comps and such, but I'm not certain how accurate it is. Thanks everyone for the help.

Hey,

Read a lot of forums talking about house hacking and that it’s a really smart thing to do, especially for a cheap rent. So I wanted to ask as an beginner just getting into real estate, first off what is house hacking, and second, do all people getting into real estate do house hacking?

Thanks.

Listen to a free webinar and get a discount code first.

While you figure out if you will buy a pro membership,  you can utilize a myriad of free podcasts and YouTube videos!

I use Podcast Addict for podcasts, and listen all the time while driving or doing other things when I can listen.

That's how I started, and the listening helped me get used to so many terms and practices.

You can go as slow or fast as you like. The deals are out there, and when one gets away, another is just a bit away.

I use YouTube a great deal, as well as audio books. I also listen to many other people on the Internet and YouTube. 

Good work finding Biggerpockets.com. 

So much help here and no hand out for you to fill with your hard earned cash! There is a lot to buy, but the more you listen and ask questions,  the fewer times you will buy things you are not ready to use.

Good Luck!  This is an exciting time, as things are changing, that will fare well with those who have open eyes and a questioning attitude.

Thank you so much!

I feel my life changed so much in the month and a half I’ve become a member! 

Hello everyone! Been learning for a few months. What are some book recommendations to read about RE and investing?

I personally use my own spreadsheets & software for analyzing deals, but from what I understand DealCheck is one of the most widely used deal analysis phone/tablet apps on the market.

I don't believe BP has a phone app for their tools for Iphone, it's only on the android for some reason.

@Ari Hadar, I'm currently using Google Sheets in Drive to keep track of everything, but I don't feel like it's the best system or app to minimize effort. I recently came across this: https://brrrrinvest.com/produc.... Has anyone used this? This general concept is what I'm looking to develop and use for our business.

@Jay Hinrichs, thanks for your insight. I was just trying to get folks to share their thoughts on checklists and systems they've developed or used that work well for them in moving through BRRRR deals. I used the words "never fails" to try and get the discussion going, nothing more - I'm not so naive to believe there's a real estate panacea. I'll be more careful with my wording next time.

If you only have a phone to analyze deals then I would look into DealCheck app. 

Is it as good or better than  BP calculators? I see it has paid version.
