She is a number cruncher, and highly analytical.

After doing more research, I learned more about property investment and realized that it would be something my analytical mind would enjoy.I ended up make 3 major goals for my new calling. 1) I will to learn how to buy and sell homes. 2) I will buy and flip homes for a profit. 3) I will own as many rental properties as possible to have a steady income stream. 

I've found that I absolutely have a dial that I can turn in either direction when interviewing potential employers, but not both directions at once.I'm generally very grateful for universally college educated underwriters and the ability to say "this is an easy one, give it to Bree who is fast and easy... this next one is tough, give it to Jennifer who is meticulous, analytic, and thorough."

I also give each bird dog their own analytic tracking phone number and all the calls are recorded so the Property Locator know what's going on and they can put this number on business cards, door hangers and flyers.I live in St Augustine but I buy in Jacksonville.

I understand analytically that your approach is the right one, and fair as well.  

For me personally, it says we are lucky that we still have a lower entry point then most folks markets.If we jump in and really become bit more analytical.

My wife says I am too analytical and detail oriented.

Martin I have tremendous respect for you and your analytical abilities, but I have to agree with Account Closed on this one ... we may need to get you a wife and kids or at the very least a good hobby (other than chartsmithing).

@Dave Meyer Thanks for the analytic, I'm sure the long time forum contributor's can attest to this form of networking and contribution helping their business tremendously. 

I am currently researching prospective MFHs for my first rental property with the intent to buy soon (my houses closes the 22nd, which is going to be used to help with the 25% down).I have a question for the more experienced investors on this site, so basically, everyone.I tend to find a prospective property, research the areas and statistics, and if it seems potentially profitable I run more detailed analytics (including the calculator on here).The problem is this:The best properties with the best cash flow, profit margin, ROIs, etc...all seem to be properties that have been sitting 200+ days on the market, sometimes much more.My first train of thought is if it was really this good, someone would have bought it up months ago, right?
