Since I am low on capital of my own, I’m planning on bringing on private investors to fund any flips that I do and I wanted to put some numbers up to get some help with analytics.

These metro areas also have a ratio of jobs to permit to less than 2.Source: US Census Bureau rental vacancy rates for the 75 largest metro areas, downloaded from Haver Analytics

@Louis Wilson That would be a good study but I don't have time for that sorta research as that would require rigorous analytics.

"Good" can be lots of things...Good because you are working in construction and building up some skills, Good because you make good income and have money to invest and are able to get loans, Good because you are doing something analytical that transfers over to Real Estate Investing, or Good because it puts you in contact with real estate investors. 

. :-) )I have high income, low debt, analytical, detailed and good computer skills.We both live in Northern NH but I work in Arkansas and commute home to NH every 3 weeks.I have purchased a RI property in AR and we ware looking to buy in NH.What type of legal entity should we form?

Having an engineering background and mind helps me on the analytical side and I feel like the pilot in my keeps that balance and not being too analytical that I just spin in circles. 

I have a tendency to be overly analytical and get stuck in "analysis paralysis" but my wife a woman of action so we make a good team.  

I'd also use an analytical tool like AirDNA to check out the listings in the area and get an idea of the immediate competition you would have on the platform as well as other invaluable insights (quality, pricing, occupancy rates, etc.) to help you decide.

Thanks for the shout out Damaso.Great job on that deal Rebecca, I like your finish selections a lot and the staging is superb.

I am not a REIT or a large syndicator just yet, so I do not dive as deep into market analytics.
