It's like only using weight to measure fitness.

I do like the efficiency of pricelabs in terms of easily monitoring your comps (if you use the Neighborhood tab and load in your comps)

And personally I put way more weight on buying the right location as a buy and hold investor than saving some dollars on the front end. 

Continue to monitor the few syndication investments we made..

Not so much ;)So now investors are feeling the weight of dog properties…be it higher interest rates, non paying tenants, property values falling, government intervention (especially in CA), etc.

I now monitor the owner's equity, return on investment, and other factors and then proactively reach out when they are ripe for selling, exchanging, or adding doors.

My spreadsheet also includes FMV of every property so I can monitor appreciation, year over year comparison of tax & insurance increases, current rent & last increase & last amount, etc.

Steven, i know this is an old thread but I hope you are still monitoring and will reply.I hold 11 rental properties in my own name but to reduce liability risk am thinking of placing them into LLCs. 

To add more weight to your case, dig deeper into local records.

So, in your example it might be at 9% interest rate which would make the weighted average HIGHER than taking out a mortgage at today's interest rates because the 2nd mortgage would be 3x as much as the 1st mortgage. 2.
