I grew up in construction and I am a very analytical type. 

We are also happy to provide analytics for any homes you're considering so you can compare revenue by community, home type and any other criteria you're considering.Have fun with the search!

I'm a school teacher in the middle of my first week of seeing students, so my analytical skills are shot!! 

Real estate is not a widget and wholesaling requires detailed knowledge (to be good at it), strong relationship skills, and analytics to make sure when you get your first deal, you don't shoot yourself in the foot by evaluating the entire property wrong.

One thing to be mindful of is that analytical minds tend to overthink things and can easily get stuck in analysis paralysis.

(I have a web development/computer science background so I'm pretty good at thinking analytically :))I've checked into my financing options, and won't have any problems there, whether I go with hard money or a conventional loan.The biggest issue for me is how to find a deal.

I work in Risk Management and Compliance and I am quite analytically focused but at the same time I am a strong advocate of taking educated risks, believing that through proper mitigation strategies and due diligence you can to some degree limit your losses.

"Analytical results for very simple auction models suggest that rational bidders in common value sealed bid auctions can generally avoid the winner’s curse if they presume that their estimate of an item’s value is the highest amongst all competitors and then bid some fraction of their original estimate."

There are sources such as Moody's Analytics but I think that's a paid service.

@Jon Holdman – thank you for the analytics – you obviously know what you are talking about.
