@Mike Williams

You make money when you buy. You get paid when you sell.  This matter all depends on a few things:

1) Your investment funadementals.

2) Your short term and long term goals.

Sometimes, a loss now will net you a four or five figure return.  Make sure that your due dillegence is done PROPERLY!!! If need be take your deal (all information - pro forma, noi, and etc.) to a local broker in that area that is under their own roof (if they're in their own building chances are that they know what they're doing and know how to survive) or two. See what they have to say and make an informed decision.

@David McCarthy

Take your time and don't be afraid to walk away from the deal or the financing co.

Don't forget about private finance... The owner may finance it... That's a BIG maybe!!! lol. All in all, stick with your investment fundamentals. Do NOT limit yourself and stay creative.  Also, you become financially free with cash flow and not equity.

Good afternoon Bigger Pockets Havers, My name is Carlton Perkins. One of the 22.5 actionable steps is analyzing three deals a day. I am looking for deals to crunch. How can I go about finding these deals?
