I always think 3-5 % is the annual appreciation to go when I analyze deals.

I'd love to try this tool, we analyze every lot in our market under 25k in Columbus Ohio and this would be very useful. we need frontage, depth, acreage, price per acre, I can send you my current template and maybe you could modify it what do you think? 

I'm curious about how you analyze and wholesale properties that make sense for rentals.

Or, the final option is that I am missing some components in analyzing this deal (more then likely as this is a very early attempt to analyze a deal). 

I'm new to the forums and starting to dip my toes in Landlording this year.How should I analyze my live in condo owned for 9 years.

Research emerging neighborhoods, find properties using MLS, Zillow, and Redfin, explore financing options, form partnerships, analyze deals using BRRRR calculators, and manage the rehab process.

When analyzing any property commercial or residential the only thing that matters to me is the cash on cash return and cash flow.

But when I was an agent, learning some basic Python and VBA (Excel) really helped me save time in the process of collecting and analyzing real estate data.I've been working with technology for the last 25 years; sometimes you don't need sexy, you just need a tool that works.It's a sin that, we technologist, fall for often: searching for sexy instead of "this old thing just works" :)

We MUST analyze comparable properties with determining future value. 

thanks James, in analyzing regional data, Louisville continues to show a strong local economy, with a decent trend in the growing rental market, lower median home prices and values, good reasons to make it appealing to us since we are looking to expand our portfolios, providing more affordability to enter into this market ... besides, good friends live in this city ... our visit will make it a business expense :)
