Core logic regularly (monthly?)

In Arizona, lease options aren’t as popular as buying a home the regular way with a realtor, but they’re also not really uncommon.

No interest paid so regular rental income. 

Sometimes, vendors that regularly attend your local REIA will have some solid deals just for landlords.

I also actively invest in real estate myself, and I talk with investors regularly about how they evaluate deals.Out of curiosity, what key metrics do you use to decide whether a deal is worth pursuing?

I was looking at buying a 14 unit building here and wanted to renovate it using the regular BRRRR strategy.

Also, you can always ask for rent increase on a regular basis.
