Looking to add a 3rd SFR investment property to my portfolio. I tried to do a conventional 30yr fixed mortgage but was turned down by my normal lender due to the tax write offs over the last year with my other propert...

I am able to work from anywhere, but I prefer to stay within arm’s reach of West Palm Beach, which has led to some analysis paralysis in identifying the ideal area for my initial investment property.

Everyone's situation is unique and it requires analysis on your actual numbers.

I built into my analysis of each property monthly deposits into that account to cover those contingencies.  

Without a little cash on hand, scaling isn't an option unless you are partnering and talking about partnering on real estate deals before you have even done one is a recipe for long-term analysis paralysis.

Doing this analysis in this point of time is a lot like using the "Enemy Method" that Avery Carl from the Short Term Shop talks about it.

No renovations were needed, but our efficient project management and market analysis ensured a quick and profitable flip.

I just saw a post that asked for extremely detailed financial analysis simply because they didn't want to pay a pro to help them.  

@Raj MukherjeeYou are right in your analysis, Huntsville definitely has better schools and the employer profile is much better as well. 

Although no renovations were needed, our efficient project management and market analysis ensured the property was quickly flipped for a profit.
