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?

Looking to take advantage of the 50-60 hr/week analytics and spreadsheets overloading and incorporate that here.

My niche, and what gets me most excited is deal analysis, acquisitions, due diligence, financial analytics, and deal structure.

I'm impressed by the size of the BP community in the Houston area and look forward to the opportunity to make new acquaintances and to diversify my analytical and contract negotiation/management skills.

I also learned deeply how to manipulate and utilize CRM systems and social platforms almost to their fullest, including how to really take advantage and track google analytics.
