Ok, if you can't tell, have spent my career being an engineer, so tend to be fairly analytical, but if you are going to have a business in real estate, you must know your numbers. 

I'm heavily analytical and I buy houses sight unseen - but the downside is that means I expect a lot of data and pictures.If you can help, or know someone who can, please PM me. 

I'd appreciate any ideas, I've done some research but it's always great to hear what BPers have to say.Strengths: Numbers, Excel, Analytics, workflow design, organization, customer serviceWeaknesses: I suck at networking (honestly, I'm like Chandler off Friends.

Sometimes people who are over analytical like myself can get stuck in the planning phase and end up never executing.

I've read nearly all the posts on this website and am particularly grateful for the insightful and very analytical posts by seasoned investors. 

I'm an IT Engineering Consultant (in the Data & Analytics space) looking to make a full-time switch to real estate, and the auctions are one of the places I look to get my deals.More to Zach's point, you can do more deals if you have more money.  

This is for future analytic purposes so I can determine what % of 1 list resulted in 1 item of another list, etc.

Maybe I could buy you a cup of coffee sometime.I am analytical, and it's easy to get stuck in analysis.

I want to start off as a buy and hold, but I was told to try flipping to get my feet wet in that process and fall back on buy and hold if it doesn't work out.My background is in analytics, my wife is a Realtor and sold new homes in CA.
