Keep crunching numbers and you'll find a decent investment eventually.

Once you doubled your purchasing power, crunch the numbers.  

Unfortunately the home wasn't professionally cleaned until the day after the pics because of being on such a time crunch.

When I crunch the numbers it makes sense to rent or buy.

Without having crunched the numbers, for ex: buy 3, pay off, buy 3, pay off.

Our search has been primarily around the Natomas - Downtown areas, but there just don't seem to be any properties that make sense...like 2% cap rate kind of deals are what I'm seeing after crunching the numbers :(My question is - are there any investors out there in the Sacramento area seeing deals over a 5% cap rate?

I've crunched numbers for too long now and want to take the leap to Just Do It but want to hear what some of the more experienced ones have to say.ANY advice would be appreciated.

Keep a check on the IRR by using NPV, which should be positive or it's a no go.As a financial analyst and Realtor, I help my clients do the number crunching and helping sense of it all.

So if you have to pay a little more for a guy with experience and a track record in your local market I would do that.The problem I see with investors sometimes is they try and micromanage every single expense associated with a project and while they are busy crunching numbers they don't take a practical view of the time and stress they save by spending a few extra dollars and hiring better people.
