I'm in a similar position to you (I'm a healthcare professional, graduated with a nice chunk of student loans, and have a decent income and am now looking to invest).Choosing whether to invest or pay down student loans involves two competing thoughts: an analytical one and an emotional one. 

I don't feel the meeting was analytical enough for me, and I think a newer agent may be able to get more creative with my financing and property search. 

Daniel H Hauer you would be able to really know what a websites conversion rate is unless u dip into the analytics... which anyone just search would have access to.

CoStar, the commercial MLS, has very advanced analytics and data that helps agents/brokers value different property types. 

I also would love to take some sort of police training to learn that authoritative, (without being condescending) detached, analytical style of discussion that effective cops use. 

PS from my analytics, it seems if I want to budget correctly, I should not be buying over 45% of the ARV if it is a house that needs major repairs.

Amir Magar I work for a regional bank as an analytics professional in strategy and operations.

He is an analytical type and very motivated which I really liked but he seemed to be desperate for commission and got angry when the deal didn't go the way he wanted. 

A serious business will factor in the profitability of a customer into how he is dealt with, in fact many are spending money on analytics for that very purpose. 

Say initial investment was 30k, can you add the hidden 2500$ saved in taxes to whatever the income earned on the property was to find the ROI for analytical purposes?
